Crack House
Smoking crack in a house in an unfamiliar neighborhood with unfamiliar faces. The fear pouring out of my pours like the piss on the couch I'm sitting in coming from the numerous dogs and cats in this abandon house. Trapped like a mouse in a cage I'm stuck in this house for fear of leaving and missing the next hit. Why cant i leave this house...the doors are missing and all the windows are open.Is it because of my hopes and dreams I'm blowing out towards heaven in clouds of white smoke? Or the smell of human waste in the toilet that cant be flushed. Why am i trapped in this house? The rice crispy sound on the end of this glass tube and the alluring aroma that i never knew i needed. Angry words coming from out of mouths that thunder off the walls of the empty rooms that hold nothing but me. Veins bulging from his head and neck like the roots of a cypress tree. Dogs barking in the background sending waring signals to all my numb senses. Why am i trapped in this house? The taste of char boy and ashes is the only thing i taste and feel. Trying to chase this elusive dragon that has led me to this strange house in another dimension. The dripping from the kitchen sink into the pile of dirty dishes is driving me insane. I'm not supposed to be here. I need to leave this place. Clicking my ruby red slippers isn't working. What rabbit hole have i gone down. Where was the wrong turn made. How do i get out of here? Please someone help me and show me the way to get out of this hell hole where in my bed i now lay.
