She was handing me
a flask filled w/ J.D.
as raindrops bounced off
my rain poncho
& ran down my face.
And she smiled
as I shivered at the burn.
I crack a few jokes
to hear her Southern laugh
as I feel the rain
as it patters off the ground
and it’s just 3:00am
and the band is still playing.
My feet are sinking
in the mud
and my knees
are turning to butter.
She wants to smoke a joint
and produces a joint.
She offers me psilocybin
should I be so inclined.
I suspect she wants
to get me wasted
to take advantage of me.
But in the spirit
of the moment
I had to take that chance.
There is something magical
and truly special
about being corrupted
by a Baptist minister’s daughter.
