I was in
another
state
but
you heard me
screaming
in the grey moonlight
Hid from
mammoth frogs
and green liverwurst
under
my next yacht
I heard Dionysus
chatting with
an Indian princess
about
a new heaven
somewhere
beyond
South Sucatash
I figured that
I could joint
in this righteous
crusade
against
their own welfare
and
my purple shortcomings
they tried
to steal
away
from me
when I preached
against
dead mushrooms
to keep
them
in utter pain
