Psilocybin silly when the
cops arrive.
Sitting on the couch naked,
laughter aching jaws.
They ask where my wallet is?
I ask, where my pants are?
Even they laugh.
I can't say mushrooms are
all bad.
They are the catalyst that
brought me back to the
hospital to deal with the
real killer...
Booze.

Tom.
There is something magical about the non-existent thing we call "mind." It is like "Never Never Land," "Narnia," or "Middle Earth," I love visiting, and a little psychedelic canoe to travel in makes it even better...
OH! Those wide horizons!

Strong message here. It was LSD for me, but the real enemy was booze all along. ~Jim

I've never done drugs of any kinds before but I did contemplate doing mushrooms once. I'm glad I didn't. I prefer to keep my clothes on. lol

[Thomas W Case]

It's best at times. Lol.

[Poetic Beauty]

It is a little humorous but it is good that this is what got you the help you needed even if you were naked.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you for commenting. I appreciate it.

[Poetic Beauty]

You are welcome. We all need to find the humor and bright side sometimes. This did both.

Cheaper than chips .. (a British saying that once held meaning) they are no longer cheap .. chips that is .. and when taken in moderation just as good as acid .. and that can't be bad, but it often was .. just sharin on behalf of an old friend .. Neville

[Thomas W Case]

Lol. Thank you, brother.

[Neville]

[Thomas W Case]

Good stuff.

"Psilocybin silly", loved that phrase you coined. Always found the concept of those mushrooms, interesting. Wonder how it would be to write poetry after tasting those....The sadness of addictions is so palpable in this poem, Thomas. You handled the subject with such flair.

[Thomas W Case]

You are so kind. Thank you very much.
