PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Coke is a bad habit and one that I could never really get into.  I saw too many people get fucked up on that.  I really only did it a handful of times in my life.  It was never my cup of tea.  The one time I snorted lines of coke off an album cover featuring Frank Zappa’s face.  It gave me a rush and it seemed ironic to use Zappa’s visage to snort the blow.  Zappa was notorious for disliking all drugs.

we give in to peer pressure

to excuse the sin

But overall, it just wasn’t where it was at for me.  I always much preferred psychedelic drugs.  This was just a real short high and then it was over.  The high wore off before the song was even finished.  It always seemed like premature ejaculation to me.  That  might be the best possible analogy for it that I have ever heard.
