Like Peyote, spirit guide—coyote
Sans San Pedro, wacked-out Day Glo
Hare Krishna doctor dance
Alien alphabet, kosmic trance
Kaleid-o-scopic madman logic
Poison lipstick, burnt-out beatnik
Shaman magic desert stew
Streetwise dragonflies, 1st grade glue
Voodoo, Ju Ju, Chinese tattoo
Haunted Bayou, catch twenty 2 true
Hypnotocized, psychadelified
Vortex, witch-hex, Jedi mind
Karma, dharma, cobra charmer
Curséd numbers, phantom slumbers
Dreams prismatic, manic panic
My straightjacket black jack magic
Hallucination across the nation
This vexation, my tribulation
Must be something in the air—
I always see you everywhere.

I never think I saw
what I know I didn’t see.
I only worry, care
for the things unseen
inside of me.

the sight pulls at each of his feet
one and then the other, forward.
soon he’s on his knees, then
his face, his goal tugging
at the points of his hair.

Are You Sure?
Sitting in a dark secluded room,
With no one to converse.
You gaze out at the swollen moon,
Then back to the light under the door.
Flash, pitter patter,
What was that?
Do you know for sure?
Is it a poltergeist or a ghost,
Or merely a friend playing a cruel joke?
Surely it is a hoax,
No such things as ghosts.
RAWWWRR!!!!
You nearly hit the ceiling,
Your friend just laughs and smiles.
You then sit and laugh about it,
Smile and say there is a ghost behind you…

Paranoid Nights
Moonlight dances around my fears,
Solace envelopes it like a blanket,
Though the night is crystal clear, it frightens me.
The windows stare carefully at me,
Only adding to my fears.
The wind whispers through the trees,
Saying be calm my child, just go to sleep.
