second tab of acid

i saw the sky dance on the earth

connecting all the universe

with air to spare and no one there

the earth and sky were every where

 

desert dancing laced with sun

the morning breaks into a run

the highway is a hiding place

for those who quit the human race

 

toes on road side

thumb in air

cardboard conduction,

“somewhere but here”

 

a trucker stops to pick me up

l. a. bound and i’m in luck

he wants to know how i got here

“it all started with my first beer”

 

please don’t ask me to explain

you’ll just think that i’m insane

when all there is is me and you

it doesn’t matter what we do

 

so don’t ask why or even try

to find a path to travel by

the gods of yore have cut the chord

and thrown us all overboard

 

and all the words i’ve ever heard

i know i’ll hear again

you’ll preach a sermon so absurd

while claiming you’re my friend

 

but i will not be anything

but molecules congealed

the photons dance as a sun beam

and nothing is revealed

 

cause there is nothing more than this

and yet i always find

how quickly i can be dismissed

and told that i am blind

 

by those who can’t accept

their ethic’s just a waste of time

the evidence is all wind swept

and not even this rhyme

 

can stop the end from being that

and nothing more will be

and that’s why within this one fact

i find that i am free

and do just what i fucking feel

and only what i need
