"Black Orchard And The Things I Saw Before The Fire"

Daydreaming or something more?
i am not in my cold office anymore
dealing with healthcare and daily concerns
i am in my orchard
i seem to have grown
something special here
strange fruit hangs
from invisible trees
black and white flowers
grow in the patch by the corner
where the shadow stalkers rise.
the human body is a remarkable thing
i suppose
the mind even more so.
The things i have seen
and the things i am about to see
are inconceivable to some
and taken for granted by many.
Daydreams turn to nightmares
intensely painful indigestion
gives way to a diarrhea explosion
of fully grown scorpions
Vomit cascades from my bottom lip
becomeing thousands of  
crawling spiders ALL trying to find
a home to hatch eggs.
this orchard fades to black
it burns to the ground  
when i am rudely awoken
by the smell of fire.
What the hell had i been smoking?
