A Trip

I took my mind a-wandering
To a far-off surreal place
The dealer said it would open me
That I’d be off my face

So I dropped it with water
And half an hour later
Traces and blurs started
Senses enhanced and greater

One by one flowers emerged
Stretching towards spring sun
I swear I can taste them
Each and every last one

I can literally feel the bass
That’s driving forth the music
Those ripples across the floor
Are making me quite sick

My jaw’s clenched tightly
And I stare down at my hands
I’ve taken my mind wandering
To far-off surreal lands.
