off key notes
sadness nicotine stained wallpaper
the cracks in my psyche are showing
not enough Plaster of Paris to fix this madhouse
*
the halls echo voices
reverberated laughter
make me tremble at midnight
*
taste my insanity
I promise one drink will be enough
poisoned you won't want another
*
acidic delusions
worm their way into a brightened mind
cause shadows to darken thought
*
a bad LSD trip
flower child this is no Woodstock
the music is playing on an endless loop
*
contagious madness for your amusement
listen close, as the last of it is played off-key
on my stringless guitar

Woodstock, that was the last great trip.
there is so much beauty in the cracked things, Crim;
the beauty of the broken...

I did a lot of acid
Orange sunshine was the most fun
Purple Haze was a mind fucker
Read once back then during that time that people who did acid didn't consider it a good trip unless it was a bad trip ....

goddamn....i thunk i was gonna have to scroll forever to find some place to put my idiot th'oughts on this brilliant poom.....glad i haven't so many admirers to answer to..........if i was gonna say anything pertinent, i forgot what it was.
PS: in aug'69(17yrs old) i was 4/5ths of the way to Woodstock in a VWbug w/2friends(from home on Long Island) & the traffic was so backed up on hiway 17, that wee turned back, & went to Montauk Point instead to sit around, get stoned, listen to The Music via 8track car tape player, & feed the giant mosquitos, never imagining that we was missing more than just another fckn concert. Ah, yes - a past so long, & a future approaching non-eXistence.......watta fckn world wee've made.......bless ye Bren

The grammar in this one is warped and twisting, but in a good way, as it creates a dark and surreal narrative-voice, and there's a rich sense of place in phrases like "Plaster of Paris" and references to things like Woodstock. Thank you very much for the read. - Jack xxx

I almost get a lysergic flashback reading this Crim.
"a bad LSD trip
flower child this is no Woodstock
the music is playing on an endless loop"
I'm glad your don't romanticize '60s memories, flower power being a thing of the past. I'll still listen to "The Sound of Silence" anytime at all.

My Beautiful Brenda, I could live an eternity hearing such things from you...your pen knows no limits and as always, you leave me astounded...

reverberated laughter
make me tremble at midnight

taste my insanity
I promise one drink will be enough
poisoned you won't want another"
~ loved these lines and how they tempt me...I raise my glass for another thank you...
I love you :)
