LADY AMBROSIA

I smoked pot with an eight-legged dog

Took acid with a four-breasted dyke

I snorted powder from the belly of a centipede

I took pills on hallowed ground

I watched a tangerine dying of laughter

while rolling on the floor

I soared through ultraviolet clouds 

with the biggest midget I’ve ever seen

I prayed to the unresponsive God

of never been

But all these things never gave me the momentum

I was looking for

It never got me there where I yearned to be

The blighted heart

The blighted soul

Sure as hell never eluded me

Years of stasis

I walked the jagged edge of silence

Balancing on a fence

With worn out shoes

Have you ever touched a daisy

And felt the universal energy flow through you?

I look at you and bloom

I think of you and bloom

I dream of you and bloom
Smell the scent of you and bloom

I take it all in

and bloom
