It is something
It is something
When the world makes
More sense
For those few moments
When alcohol or acid
Combine to produce
A perfect array.
A declaration of eureka
A blue sky
Creating an alternate truth.
After images
Following every movement.
Nothing is finite
There is never only one
Of anything
Objects overlay
The past is a future
Present
Ghosts bleed
From other worlds
Going about their business
Oblivious
Of the chaos they cause.
Unfolding dimensions
Mobius strips
Bumper cars on a double helix.
People appear
In all the wrong places
Stories change
Episodes converge
A narrative constructed
From disparate sources
With alternate voices.
Singing a different
Version of the same song
Combining to perform
The finale
In perfect harmony.
We live in a state of flux
On the edge of grace
A precipice
Teetering on the brink
Of something wonderful.
Only to forget it
Before the answer
Is complete.
Isn’t that just the way
It is
Until the pentothal wears off.
Consciousness
Is a tall order
A bi-product of evolution
A beautiful mistake
But what a difference it makes
To the meaning of
Hello
Goodbye
When it is remembered
In the morning
