Gonzo Poetry

I had run out of it i'm out of it
mind you my mind that ran away
first by feet then by train
paxil was her name a rotundish
hard skinned pink pill of a pimp
so sleeping a tossing flipping
dreaming dream i witnessed a mess
messing up a dream:

this slot of sliced land jutting
with clapboard housing a shouting
with roaches a toasting the best
of a meal they boasted 
the strangest of stranglets in
a land of strangler piglets;

two step eddie backed up to a window
owned by a rider, says he with 
back to a drive-thru widow, 'take 
this shotgun, won't need it, take
this broad sword too, and take this
forty-four again won't need it, 
i'll keep this grenade cause it
needs me more -- see that man there
, snagged my lawn cutting his own
, watch me walk over there.

Two-step walks over there and pulls
the pin and once again they do like
they do the owner of that window
was a copy-cop over 44 and says
to eddie, 'don't pull that pin you
sons of guns, sons of burning suns!"
Pin pulled, trigger pressed two slugs
in the valley of the deepest cracks
of two buns and all is done.

And the female dog under the oak
toking-tree says to her male friend,
'your banging will wake up the 
recently dead if you don't stop 
banging and start more slapping instead;
no-step eddie tells the devil he 
needs to brush his tooth but forgot
his teeth brush under the bush.

Never cold turkey Paroxetine
and slip to sleep on a Monday.

Hello, Ernest. I'm impressed with this shoot up at the drive thru. How crazy is your ability...! One to go through happily again. Cheers! I don't even care if the subject matter came to you in a dream. - it's your mad phrasing which puts this in podium realm.

Thank you so kindly Sigrid. I wrote it while grocery shopping. I cannot take myself anywhere without writing. Again, I so very deeply appreciate the time you took to write me. :)
