Sugar Cube Poem by William Ryan

I was young when I took that trip
It started with just a little dip
In the water that was clear and cold
Just relax so I was told
Don't question them or be rude
Please except this sugar cube
It was sweet like all the ones before
Thought I'd have just one more
Off into the field they would stare
I looked but saw nothing there
They laughed at jokes I didn't hear
Then came Colors that were clear and bright
I laughed with them throughout the night
Yet at what I didn't know
And my movements seemed so slow
My thoughts at times would just race
As the colors I would chase
I could not catch a single one
But chasing them was so much fun
Then all at once it came to me
That sugar cube was laces I'd finally see
I was on the acid track
My God how would I ever get back
To the way life used to be
Or did I want to stay in this exactly
Was it really all that bad
And could more sugar cubes be had
If one more I would greet
Maybe those colors I'd finally meet
Was it really a big deal
When excited and content I could feel
Yes I think that I am not done
Instead I'll try another one
Just one little cube of delight
To get me through one more night!
