Drunken Ballad

by The Crash Poet - Not entered

Ecstasy terrors
I feel sick
Mostly in the head
I don't like the prose of it all 
Every yellow rose of it all
Why does it have to rhyme all the time

Such a present, ethereal, word
This is

But critical faeries sprinkle dust past 
My eyes just so further or farther
That I can't see the hard way

But hyenas of sensibility
Want me black and white
I wasn't polaroided so there's things light won't expose

But the dragonflies aren't afraid
Of the outside world
Exoskeletally

But this is alcoholic
This is Tylenolic
This psychedelic
And my only acquaintance is in the asylum

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this because because my best friend really went to the mental poem, and she is the only sane person I am even aware of.  I thought you should know that she is out now.
