Some say, laughter is the best medicine. While I have found that to be true, it's become so cliche. An axiom I now live by is that mushrooms are the best medicine. Perception's door opens wide, and my jaw aches with laughter. I can taste blue and green, and hear tulips sing lovely ballads for the squirrels that have forgotten where they buried their nuts. I train my poems like circus bears. They rarely maul me. And, just between you and me, The Birth of Venus painting that hangs above my writing desk vibrates and pulsates like the Gulf of Mexico. That red headed temptress dances seductively, long into the night. And now, my kittens think it's funny to meow backwards.
