Notebook is Healthy

A page of random poetry from an old journal

I.

 

foggy headed

problems to sort out

money woes

rain falls down from

happy skies

smoke filled

mushroom madness

bliss scorned by reason

memory numb

want to get back

to the real world

prepare yogic breath

cool panorama

enters my nostrils

warm air flows out

lungs tight from

too much smoke

brain soft mental sloth

trying to forget love

 

II.

cold rain outside the window

clean breezes stir me

gray is the dominant color

brown reflects my mood

you take after my mother

her wild ways and earthly

deliberations

rusty is the dead grass

yellow green sleeping weeds

black never shows underground

soggy sluggish March

enters like candy

sticky and purple tongued

but how will it leave us?

 

III.

the girl with

black and green hair

has a lot of gall

she sits smoking a cigarette

with her blue nails and bleary eyes

knocking the turntable with her foot

the record skips and pops

please watch out, I say

she looks at me without blinking

bumps the record again
