I thought you brought me candy.
Woke up, driving the big rig,
tape everywhere- even under my ears-
to catch all the words that fall out.
Chocolate cars for the rally,
sponsored by Colonel Sanders
during the inverted eating period.
I went on a water gun rampage at Meijer's,
and walked out with a gallon of cookies and cream.
It's the largest hot dog in the room!
This is a secret jet plane
loaded with secret documents
belonging to the eternal ghost of Vince Lombardi.
Then,
a hexagonal ICU
overflowing with teenage nurses, dressed down
and blasting the Dead Milkmen.
Watch!
When I put my radiology silhouette against a mirror
you can see the strangest things:
Me, playing the guitar on one leg,
an evil rabbit garnishing caveman clubs,
a Volvo crossed with a Roomba,
driven by a Shriner with three eyes.
Is he a triclops? Is he the first?
Dilaudid will make you want to fight
the righteous fight, no less,
the bloody and hidden civil war in Puerto Rico
… Just for the glory.
Bake sweet rolls and make love to your new wife,
fall asleep for three years and grow a beard.
These will be the scars I won her with.
It was a brutal swordfight in Old San Juan,
but I sailed away like a glistening pirate
with her over my shoulder, woozy with love and awe.
Two milligrams every two hours.
The cable remote with three buttons:
Volume up, volume down, and summon nurse.
I wished for salt on my ice chips,
and sprinkles for my open wound.

These are actual statements I made over the course of two days on a VERY high dose of IV painkillers.
very nicely done. Loved the flow.
Nice piece, and definitely deserves a fave sheerly on the basis of dilaudid being Wm Burroughs' fave gnostic vitamin. I'm sure the master would have approved.
