Lorazepam 50

Ya couldn't call me restless

but nah, ya couldn't call me lucid either

Floating on a benzo-pretty philharmonic cloud.

 

Sharp bitey thinglings softened

they swim backward in confusion

and this Kwan Yin, floating freely

leaves them gasping on the sand.

 

She regards dark circles, smiling

She regards her injuries, smiling

She regards her troubles, smiling

All around, a pinkish haze

 

Nay, the chemicals won't will trip her

catch her painted skirt

and tear silk

to be jolted from her reverie

is never to be told.

 

This she knows, but now she floats

for she must have tangible proof...

 

that Reality is not real

and the text is set in BOLD.
