Here's your cocaine

okay okay...4th review in....I've never touched drugs in my life! So if you can relate..so sorry. But impressed that I can write persuasively. Thank you!

Sit with me, and I'll prepare something special for you.
With just a spoonful of sugar,
I'll sweeten-up and embellish, this dead crow that once flew.

Get closer.
Your turn; take a blow of this snow.
I'm prepared to catch your nose bleed, inside my porcelain bowl. 
 
When finished,
let us dance beneath the chandelier. Let us gaze upon the dense opacity.  Let us see these new atrocities.  Let us observe, watch and listen, as our pupils begin to dilate and darken.  

And if we sing; this hare in my lap, the fish in the sink, we'll use them as our audience.  They will remain silent, but harken.

Watch my friend as the clock strikes twelve.
Snow White and her Prince will meet us here very soon.
If lucky, she'll bring you Cinderella's dress tailored in fine silk, and colored in blue.

Want more?  Use my razor to cut through the looking glass of maladjustment and calamity.
Regal with me; enjoy this moment of rolled dollar-ed bills, and frivolity.

I'll shuffle the cards.
Another poker game might make you feel light
as a feather. Bare breast dipped in dopamine, just adds to the pleasure.

The table can walk, the bird is alive now..hear it squawk.
Hickory dickory dickory dock.
When the clock strikes twelve the devil will come.
He'll bring the wine, and he'll bring the sweet rum.

((White powder coverlets the senses))

It's odd; you know?  How the ice turns soft. Soft becomes cold. Cold becomes hot.
Stranger yet...last nights spaghetti. It got caught in my throat, it still sits in my stomach, all tied in a knot.

When the clock strikes twelve, my neighbor will come.
He's my Cousin's, Sister's Brother, born from a different Father and Mother.  He'll bring us more cocaine.  But I must warn you. Can you keep a secret?  He's a little off. Perhaps a little insane.  

Author's Note

I can't possibly try to share with you my inspiration here. So I will instead..plead the 5th. But as all of you know, I'm always looking for a new way to mess with the reader. So my intent here, was to overwhelm the senses, much the same way that cocaine does.

I adore such trippy trips sideways round the honeycombed mind where inside of every crevice a rhythmic pop pop on an easel will claw away all fabricated nuances of what poetry is 'supposed to be' and deliver a brand new dish of mind bending delectable delicacies of imaginative play~ lovin on the cross pollination of fairy tales with urban drawl~to be completely honest with you I don't have to guess at all at the magiks that spark such creative wonders since my brainpan is chock full of squirming swirling images in broad surreal screen 24/7~ this banquet of exotic fare I understand better than everyday poetic ramblings~ this is Dali tripping the high wire fantastic with Nina Hagen~ LOVE IT~perfect meter also if I may add which adds to the mental cadence of the reader~

you pulled me in right away just with the title..and did not fail to disappoint all throughout..you're an amazing writer

[Rasputin]

I f*****g loved this. Although it did make me really want some coke...

Anyway, this had a very interesting rhyme scheme. You state in the description that you've "never touched drugs". I can only imagine what you would write if you had...

And no, I'm not encouraging you to do drugs. I AM encouraging you to keep writing.

If I were to use a word to describe this piece...Violent is the first that comes to mind. You are unmerciful in the way you thrash the readers' emotional state around. For me it felt like being attacked. The convincing sensation of the loss of control is what made this a spectacular trip for me. This is masterful use of the the pen.

how can I comment on something so startling.. I was captured..

[Amila Jay]

Wow...Ok...yeah it is insane, but anyway it's a cool write overall:-)

I must admit, this is extraordinary. The title caught my attention first, but I didn't judge it until I read it. I really do admire your approach at this piece, you didn't just jump out and say anything. Instead you threw up walls of pleasant feelings and sensations around such a dark topic. I must say, I am glad to come back from my long brake of no internet service to read something as amazing as this.

Those crazed moments of life lost in the white. You certainly touch on all the senses and add just enough high to make me experience a contact buzz :)

This very confusing and unique all i understood was someone was on drugs! Like how reality never stood still shifting and creating more and more ways to make the reader question what going on here.Great read it just really hurt my head trying to comprehend what was happening.

I've never done cocaine or so much as smoked a cigarette, but I appreciate all the Disney references. I suppose trippy about sums it up (if spoken trippingly on the tongue).
