dragons in my dreams drag queens on my streets where was I to hide? falling through toxic clouds of atomic belched aphorisms holding my nose ‘til my lungs screamed primal screams that nobody ever heard with their ears stopped like the rowers of Ulysses while he listened to the sirens I heard them too, I heard them, I HEARD them faintly, like the whiffed spread of black buzzards’ wings before the **** but the sirens have beards, those wily wenches and smell of cat **** naked enough to have me covet what they are not I want them, I need them for I don’t know what bliss is bliss, bliss, bliss is that what I sought? is that what sages taught? when they had me kneel and put a wreath upon my head told me to chant, silently, inwardly told me there was no shortage of truth I heard them, cherished every word, no matter how absurd because I thought they could help me fly but then I choked on the smoke from their farted anointed flames that filled the sky I was told was blue it was not only me to whom they lied who would not fall prey to their fiery shafts? but when I awoke, they were not there and all that was left in the waking world were the scabbed burns they left on my soul the dying crownless queens who roamed the oily streets the stench in my flaring nostrils and the bit in my teeth no chariot to fly above those **** filled clouds that would rain vain vapid truth on me for the rest of my unholy days… the rest of my unholy days
connecting with my psychedelic verse from the 1960s, but written tonight--my memory can only take me so far
