salvia divinorum

i think

i once read

salvador dalí

dreamed of worlds

full of divine creatures

that fell from the sky like

comets falling from the heavens.

and in his dreams, these creatures

appeared to be different from others.

they reflected a new beauty, a new way

to see the world. and although he attempted

to create art so that others could see what he saw,

many thought that he was a madman. many thought

that he was seeing a world that didn't exist; that couldn't --

but if you see it, who are we to say it doesn't exist; who are we?

salvador dalí once claimed to be both an anarchist and a monarchist.

i like to believe this is possible...if one believes in a world full of kings.

people probably thought dalí was viewing the world through drug-filled eyes,

but dock ellis pitched his one and only no-hitter while under the influence of LSD.

dalí saw, and created, surrealism because there is no other way to see and create the world.
