Stoned At Starbucks!
I found myself stoned -
Stoned in Starbucks, actually.
The queue was long, it helped!
Was there any place finer to be,
Any state better to be in,
As I gently sipped my freshly ground -
NOT FOUND ON THE GROUND, coffee?!!
Remember...
Don't leave the house 'til you're totally stoned,
As today could potentially be your last -
And if you get through, it'll still be a blast!
Just roll with it cos you'll gather no moss,
No, NOT Kate Moss -
Always preferred Taylor Swift anyway!
Come join me in long conversation,
Get to know me as I get to know you.
My barriers will be down, you know that,
It's not good -
And I've still gotta find my way home!
I feel vulnerable yet superior -
Supremely confident I will hold you;
If not in my arms, in my aura at least...
Yeah, it's great being a stoner -
If only I knew!

A fitting tribute to the motion picture! Lol! A coffee shop far far away...Wait, that's a different franchise. Regardless, I gotta say, my favorite piece of the entire franchise is Star Trek the Motion Picture IV, The Voyage Home, the one where Spock (newly regenerated) and Kirk and Crew have to brave the perils of "slingshot around the sun at Warp-Speed-WTF time-travel" in a stinky, stolen Klingon vessel, then hilariously have to wander around beautiful '80's San Francisco looking for a pair of humpback whales to steal. Larceny! 'Cause of course, only whale song saves the future. Literally in my top 5 movies, and definitely my number one go to comfort-film. Full of heart warmth and humane charm, directed by Leonard Nemoy.

Re: Re. Stoned At Starbucks!
I agree! I've always liked Star Trek IV too as it's the most relatable & possibly funniest Star Trek film ever! In case you're wondering about choice of artwork, I kept it in as to depict the 'aura' aspect of the piece, particularly around the middle character pictured. Ideally wanted a green Aurora Borealis effect there but, as you say, it all adds to the far out, 'lost in space' jive/theme, lol. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, Em-ily.

Haha, you were freshly ground...
Just need some cream and sugar I suppose.
Definitely makes you more patient.
Gotta just roll with it... pun intended.
Kate Moss and Taylor Swift much better when stoned. ;)
But most things are right?
Conversations are so much longer, at least they seem to be. lol
Barriers are down, or perhaps up... I suppose it depends on the strain.
Vulnerable yet superiror (so high)... oh yeah... for sure.
Supremely confident is so exciting...
You know... it's so obvious.
I mean Stoned? What's that?!!! Lol...

Re: Re. Stoned At Starbucks!
Yeah, at least it wasn't freshly found on the ground coffee, I mean, who needs that, right?! I'm liking your interpretations of the read & you're probably thinking, 'Why the coy disguise, Billy?' right? The more I deny it the more I implicate myself. Prefer Taylor Swift to Kate Moss but that isn't difficult, hehe. Once again, I really appreciate you commenting on my work & for sharing your thoughts & ideas. I will endeavour to stay grounded, yes! Haha! It's not a habit, it's cool, as k's choice might say. Just watched the link. Quite a soothing track that gives the impression addiction is cool, lol. ;-)

Coffee & biscuits go well together as it does with a fry up at a naff cafe. I drink alcohol as my preferred stoning choice.

Excellent! Thank you so much for giving your view on this, Bat. The duality thing is partly why certain drugs can be so dangerous I think. 😊

Thank you, Dilemma, that's nice to know. It's not strictly my first entry though as I've had loads of poems up in the past but I like to withdraw them every so often. 😊
