STRETCHY MICK HURLY

states of consciousness leveled
in 5 -meo-dmt, like schizophrenic shamans
these flying ointments transform
hallucinogenic paste
apuleius & the golden ass
a cause for madness with shipwrecked lust
de qincey devouring
english opium confessions
to swim in psychoactive substances
peyote crackles in the camp-fired spaces
while mysteries of nature pop, snap,
&
collide . like mechanical apes
in drag race bumper car derbies
muras Indians & their parica bamboo pipes
blowing each other's brains out from blasted ear holes
tsentsak plants
conceptual aloofness afloat
like ill fated drunken buzzards
zombies exist in Haitian huts
tree frogs & puffer fish stuffed in exotic mouthfuls
acrid scents of whale fat mushroomed head
hemp plants are natives of central Asia
marco polo was a pothead
snakes & scorpions drank ganja from datura leaves
baudelaire wrote poems of hashish
opium was cultivated by stone age farmers
jean cocteau extracted opium poppies from his belly button
& shot them into oranges, while sucking on lime peels
poe found comfort in lady ligeia
hauser & obrien raped burroughs corpse
the ant wine aphrodisiac was published in 1662
neanderthals used stimulants to find peter pan tobacco pipes
ectoplasmic obsidian fluid became mundane
know thyself if eating psilocybin
self-transcendence is no guarantee
gardens in memories make for extraordinary pets
when my inability to function becomes
herbal longings for infinite droppings in growth
cactus's named anhalonium lewinii
lounge around on sofas made of intoxication
while twitchin words out
among fuk up's, i fuked up, i'm fuked up.
quivering tribal journeys
wiggle with egg nog gut dances
& ears made of human green smoke
naked female star fish
with poisoined sand salt
pucker snouts slurping
slopped up sounds of sexual frustration
