Long Thorazine Poems

I remember the beach sand and swing
when you and mother were still something
I remember the ducks in the lake
you held my hand watching their wake
I remember the sheep dogs when the day was through
and the...

~JSLambert does not (currently:) use, or encourage hallucinogenic drug use.

    Telepathic psilocybin prescription erasing elastic depression. Competition 
wanes, just when nocturnal emission drains. Lifted poetic wing clipping. This 
party only makes sense...

When folks are young, they may feel blessed
But I coped with bullies, life felt stressed,  
I started eating a lot, food always there
In theory a good thing, in my case a snare,

I ate whole...

AEONIA-
   AEONI-
      AEON-

Vestal purity, all men succumb- the Virgin whose eyes stare silver beams- crystallizing his very soul. He,  and all who gaze upon she.

I feel so freaking, God-like good;
     I feel My chest-expanding heart
and the mad frenzy in My blood,
     which tear My mind and soul apart!

These urgent voices in...

Soul progress
     back field in motion
The guff
     Chose, chose, live grow leave!  GO!

Leapt from heaven's gold
Jump started into a human mold

I've been awake for hours,
and all through the night,
I could not imagine morning,
the day as it turned out to be,
so hard to grasp, in truth, lies,
imagination, the copied moments 
seemed so real... like life, with...

My Esteemed Comrades,
Fellow devotees of the Sacred Process -
It feels as though I've never left,
             As though we've always been here

I told the nurse
I swallowed a snake.
He charted: religious mania.

But I felt her—
three and a half turns 
sleeping 
just south of the back 
of my clavicle.

I called her Vera
then, 
full breath 
pried me open.
Fire-rising, 
slithering:

JUGULARING SIX BALLS AT ONCE

Unlike myself can someone please use their brain
And tell me if a person can KNOW when they’re going insane
Is it when someone always walks into the same damned wall?
Or when a...

I live my life in my own private asylum,
with crazy thoughts that blow through my brain,
they constantly assure me that i'm insane.
I ask the shrinks "what can it be?"
they say maybe, possibly, could be A.D.D.

I woke up early this morning
And then I let the dog outside
Then I fixed myself some breakfast
And I went out for a ride

The sky was looking funny
And the trees were pink not green
There were elephants...

Everyone's quarantined, I'm out of Thorazine
Stuck in the house, me and my spouse

When we woke up today, no lights on Broadway
It was shut down, my New York town

Stores out of toilet paper, stuck in a...

The courtroom atmosphere was electric kangaroo
the prosecution had succeeded in pulling off a coup.
They had Jesus handcuffed with some other Nazarenes
wearing inmate orange and strung out on Thorazine.
The defense objected wildly, understandably distraught,
Pilot overruled the...

The patient

They call it a sickness, a psychosis, an insanity, but I know: this is the leverage 
by means of which I can set the wheels of the universe in motion. All I need...

Awakened
realizing I was in shock
she rolled me over
and did it again are you glad?
Sad a puppies brown hair
green eyes
frizzled dazzlers
gelled hair.

Thorazine hidden in my orange
orange juice
without a just claim to fame
dipped in a language
you can...

He writes poetry
Like Christopher Reeve’s 
Break-dancing 

Could you read this poem
He asks

And you would love to
If only between the spelling
And the handwriting
There was a way 
Of deciphering 
What it was that he wrote

But
There are those

I am your oppressor
the stick upon your open wounds
the salt within the gaping flesh
a chaotic storm upon your soul

I am the one who swore
you'd never amount to anything
the rope that held you in place
a dagger...
