It's an original sin, incandescent, an absolutist's balloon monsoon, but Eden's air comes in whipped cream cans; the serpent had no need for names. Blood hits the ice, and the dextromethorphan hits too, and yesterday, tomorrow, a crystal glows briefly, never to be seen again. The concrete tunnel is filled with spiders, chewing at my brain as they suffocate, beneath the weight of expectation. And now, beneath this jellied tree, I see the God I've ignored all these years, and I bask in the artificial glow of LSD before I realize my mistake. Because when homeless men that went to Harvard, smoke **** with you, hungover, out of an Apple, why change a thing?
