HIGH

 Why  wouldn’t  I  want  to  get  HIGH?

Feeling  the  pleasure  unlike  being   down  low
Slow  rising  or  steady  climb,  long as  I’m  higher….
High  enough  to  see  past  problems….disappear
High  enough  to  breathe,  past  breaths  of  fear….Higher!
Peaking  performances,  forgetting  how  I  have  fallen……

Raising  awareness  to  levels  of  carefree  thresholds
Never  wanting  pain  to  ever  return,  so  I  burned  slow
Blowing  smoke  out  into  vapors,  of  thoughts  and  concerns
Hoping  2b  higher  than  I  have  ever  been….no  returns….
Of  times  low  down  gutter  clutching  scenes,  I’m  living  where
Wishing  2b there,  HIGHER,  like  I  was  from  my  first  trip  on  blotter
Rushing  like  adrenaline  in  memories  of  my  first  intimacies  romantically

Drinking  in  the  elation  of  an occasion  characterized  as  victory,  Higher….still
Sometimes  even  sipping  thru  strife,  ending  all  my  miseries….being  history
Happy  as  a  Drunkard  on  Saturday  night,  copping  one  more  bottle  of  LQ
Gleeful  as  Daddy  Two  Step,  busting  dance  hall  moves  topped  off  with  a  Boogaloo
High  enough  2b……Higher  than  a  birds-eye  view  of  horizons  never  seen
High  up  on  ladders,  stepping  on  clouds  up  higher  than  everybody  dreams
Feeling  no  gravity,  from  spikes  in  arms…..carrying  me  higher  defying  ill-logic
Traveling  to  cop  yesterday’s  high   at  today  prices,  means  I  was  wasted….Wasting…….
Higher  than   my  lowest  common  denominator,   that’s  reality…..making  it  last  for  me
So  I  cut  my  blow,  to  make  it  last  for  me,  sacrificing,  I  knew  I  had  to  fast  on  FREE…Basing…
Living  for  the  sake  of  being  neither  low  nor  high,  but  in  the  gift  of  every  moment  of  presence

Why  wouldn’t  I  want  to be  HIGH?   Being  High  is  everything…..

I  just  choose  now  to  smoke,  drink,  sniff  and  shoot  up  on  Self  Medicated  and  Divinely  prescribed  Manifestations!
