Hallucinations

What kind of faux pas secrets
are hidden from your home kin
indulging in the next hallucinogen
adrenaline charging as you participate
occupied with your next release
risk of suffering a karoshi crash
floating in a vacuum of sanity
a glacier bathtub lined with marshmallows
one vision after another warps
each one implants inside your mind
you skulk around chasing ghosts
trying to be as incognito
as a canary in a birdhouse
exoneration as the trip is over
and senses catch up with reality
you realize you have survived the trial

twitter poems
01 Jul 2009

Today’s random twitter poem is about a person sinking into drug addiction and was inspired by @Santasdevil   throwing out four words at the same time, I decided to use all four words in the poem. The rest like descending, into, petulant all fit the theme so well, so this poem just fell together. Thanks to the following twitter followers for the 18 random words (in blue) today:

@johnjriewe (cockamamie), @PowerJourneys (petulant), @SurfCityJay (holiday), @augustday1962 (descending), @twitlaureate (into), @anefallarme (enticed), @santasdevil (drug, addict, loser, thief), @numbnuggets (giggles), @frecklesncurls (hairspray), @babyfuzz (hyperactive), @theotherbed (bleh), @BenSpark (Spangles), @joshuaarnao (Melchizedek), @evliving (trickery), @plotdog (reliable)

Lost Drug Addict

You petulant loser!
enticed to become a thief
to support a drug habit
an addict without a holiday
one cockamamie excuse after another
as you watch your hyperactive life
start descending into chaos
poverty stricken in time
nothing more than a petty crook
stealing spangles to feed
a life without giggles
sunken so low, feeling bleh
reliable loved ones fed lies and trickery
if nothing else around
getting high on hairspray
Even the king priest Melchizedek
could not save you now
can this be the sum
of what you have become?
