When I Did the Mushrooms...       (SEMI-FILLER)

Girlfriend: When I did the mushrooms
I was overcome by these musical colours...
This new celestial awareness awoke within me...
My body belonged to one universal humanity...


Quarterback: You didn’t see death? Hell?


Girlfriend: Wow, what a beautiful sunset...
What a beautiful lake, all those intricate ripples of water...
And those velvety clouds over the far mountains...


Quarterback: They’re just colours, you know...


Girlfriend: There you go again...
Finding beauty in nothing but me...

Yes, I know I am beautiful,
But other things are beautiful too...
Nature and... culture and... freedom and...
That’s why we have the world,
So that women can see beauty too...

(He sits there motionless, not responding)

Say, you haven’t been the same
Since that weekend in May up at the cottage.
What did you and the team do out there?


Quarterback: We did something different...
We experimented...


Girlfriend: You mean you didn’t drink?


Quarterback: Nope...


Girlfriend: Is this why your voice is deeper,
Why you haven’t shaved in a while?


Quarterback: Yep...



She used to love him for his body,
Strong and clean, a drinker with the guys...

He was school, sports and cars,
Shirt tucked in, a good future,
Just like all the guys, a breed...

She liked to get drunk with him,
He wouldn’t hurt her, polite,
Well-spoken, he was perfect...

He must have been Jesus to her.



But something went wrong...
A door was opened too soon...

The Infinite is revealed to all, but at different times...
Even jocks do drugs and think about things.
