Highway Wind
I drive the night because of open road.
My retreads are sounding strong.
Hauling cars up from New Orleans
Where I'm not sure that I belonged.
Traded whiskey for a woman
At a bar in Abilene.
Then a long haul up to Portland town
Helped along by methadrine.

Your Amphetamine
Laugh laugh laugh
but nothing is there
Pounding furiously
Pounding hard
Pounding upon pounding
Flying higher than you have ever before flown
Being wittier than you ever believed possible
People are amazed by you
You are amazed by yourself
A twirling dervish you cannot slow down
You swirl and dance,
stamping your legs raw
Your toes fall off
but you are too busy to notice.
cry cry cry
because the

Live Onstage--Amphetamine
A relay of moods dribbles on and on
when euphoric tunes kick in:
Jazz, R& B, slow funk, wild pop
igniting primal ecstasy, in the flesh...raw!
Live music leaves me breathless
as thuds of a drum, the intricate fondling
from saxophones blast these veins...
until intoxicated head convulses,
Pulse beat raised at 110, my torso
gyring in motions unknown—
the cortisol of anticipation surging
adrenaline doses

My Amphetamine
Poetry's my amphetamine,
My brain's everyday vitamin,
It is a cure for my boredom,
My heart's expression of freedom,
My placebo for the day,
It keeps all my fears at bay,
The prescription for my disease,
It keeps my soul and mind at ease,
My drug, my pill, my medicine,
Poetry's my amphetamine.

My Amphetamine
I see your face
In a crowd of skeletons
You don’t see me
Hiding behind them all
My heart starts to run
Sprinting in circles
Back and forth
A caged animal released
Not quite sure where to go
You see me
For a second your eyes lock with mine
Followed by a gentle grin
Warmth and desire
Floods my body
Blood rushing through every vessel
Veins pumping every

My Amphetamine
Enantiomers do not make my amphetamine.
No cognitive enhancers do I need.
Don’t bother giving me that crazy Benzedrine.
Imagination was my mind’s first seed.
I need no extra sleep; I’m sufficiently awake.
I”m not depressed; no euphoriant for me!
My needs are met; I sure want nothing fake.
I get high on life and poetry!

Amphetamine
Expositions delight, I have it now,
into the mirror I take a bow.
My narcotic panic,
for my inner wack cynic.
A saber in my hand,
ready for battles in the sand.
And drop focus onto my heart,
I just to began to start.
Tweak on my freak on,
constantly play like Tron.
but I cannot respond,
I'm going at her like James Bond.
Am I at

My Amphetamine
The anger I feel, it currently rains
Its the fuel that drives my reigns
It pumps my blood through my veins
Breaking the skin at times, leaving stains
It builds, increases, stacks and never ceases
It pumps, courses, I never know the reason
It needs to halt, wait, stop before the creases
Rip, tear, show too much wear. It is

Amphetamine of Choice
I hold my breath as lights go down
adrenaline overflowing
red curtains part
a shot in the dark stills my pumping heart
Transported to another world
of fantasy and make believe
music permeates my soul
mind and body feeling whole
Before too long the end is nigh
euphoric I'm still on a high
I rise for a standing ovation

AMPHETAMINE
I feel the beating of my heart
and I wake up with a start
not worrying or hurrying
just use the speed that I impart
to transmit, relay or convey
the glory of a brand new day
as the power of a drug
might aid me while I rev my brain
no ambling like a common slug
I break fast… now my coffee’s gone

Amphetamine Salts
Hail, oh hypoactive attention deficit,
With a brain that's raveled in tumbleweed,
Inundate thy mind with alchemical medicine,
To satisfy thy folly's focus dressed in tweed.
Suck the soma from these amphetamines,
Which waken your wary thoughts,
Add a mix of dimethyltriptamine,
And in the senses thou shall be caught.
Light becomes a lucid liquid,
A river of retinal inquisition,
And for the cognizantly

Amphetamine Lazarus
in intriguing little crime scene
we have here eh Inspector Marsupial
a freeway overpass whore's
cardboard box and mattress
and a paperclip necklace
juxtaposed on a dissecting table
at some point a losing strategy
has to be examined
even if the last conclusion is
that we are here to be punished
for being here
Marsupial searched his pachinko readout
acting on the assumption
that in at
