ON DRUGS

 

life is dirty

yet so pretty

on drugs

 

my life is truly inspired

when I dip it in the fire

and toke            and cough          and choke

on drugs

 

there are no children screaming

no pistols firing

on drugs

 

I want the world to be sid vicious

and lou reed

and fried_jellybeans

and tea for two

and cats for all those extra deleted scenes

or that director’s cut that you just can’t access

on drugs

 

I like to super-kala-fraja-listic-expiala-docious

on drugs

 

I can’t play guitar worth shit

on drugs

 

I barely ever read

I barely ever sleep

all I really want to do

is laugh

and dream

and eat

on  drugs

 

music is a dancing contagious string of nonchalant verbs tied              into pulsing colourful melodies

and that only makes sense because I am...

on drugs

 

I wrote a poem on drugs

on drugs

Thomas White is a lab tech who has always been immersed in science and math. He believes that every thing comes in little packages of facts and figures. He enjoys art and drugs as his principle pastime and at the end of the day he finds it nice to know that he can still colour outside of the lines.
