Acid Poem by David DeSantis

Acid

Rating: 4.7


Angry Wood Dwarves
Are
Hanging from a nest
Of Crow’s feet badgers,

while

Balancing on a steeple
Of broken winged Butterflies.

Crayon finger Pygmies
Are
coloring in a box
of alleyway Alligators,

while

biting on the bark of
candy cane tree stumps.

Lawn Ornament Pelicans
Are
Dancing on the shingles
Of gingerbread roof
Mansions,

While

imagining a play
of Swan themed swimmers

Bee hive librarians
Are
Filling a pit
Of earth zombie wood pyres,

While

Reading a book
On suicidal
Moviemakers.

I’m
sitting on a couch
Thinking of themes
And listening to Tchaikovsky,

While

Acid tripping,
Head banging.

tripping without the acid here as this run of images ignites the senses - movement, texture, sound and vision... flows well too and the connections surface after the second read. jx

Your choice of words and images made this a fun poem to read. Hope it really didn't happen.

Are all acid trips so well structured? At least you remembered it - after his opium trip Coleridge remembered all of Kubla Khan but was interrupted by a man 'from Porlock' before he could write it down. By the time he left he'd almost completely forgotten it. Fx

David, I've never done a trip, but you paint such a vivid picture I don't need to! Thank you.
