Take two

One more bump
and away we go.

Into an adventure
elusive
as they promised us,

on prescription pads
written in the dark.

take two
now
and wait.

desperate satisfaction
seeps in
as reality drips drizzles drains away
and replaces
what we wish we felt
with muddled memories.

Somewhere in your mind
an inkling of a feeling
grows.

You know
where the dance begins
and the limbs start to remember
why we walked this path
why the road went west,

when the eastern skies
held reasons to believe
that we would wake up in our beds

content
and raw

numb and reminscent
of a purple haze
a song
without a refrain.

here we go
again-
its all the same
when you give in.
