THE STUFF

You tried the stuff

but it’s not enough

Cracks open your skull

makes you drop

You wear a mask

And act coherent

You hear distorted

And call it heaven send

You call up God

to call the rotting off

You try a hit of the other stuff

You want your head to elongate

You want to ascend into another state

You want your head to elongate

You want to ascend

then reappear in another state

Your skull is thick

Your body sick

Still you bluff

You’re tougher than the stuff

Blue ribbons

lilacs turn black

Clouds appear mushy

Particles dance

you feel the lack
