    In the interim analysis
    The animus never came to terms understood
    Stanley she said take that cock off your nose
    And give me your lip bright smile
    Driven by Godssssssssssssssss
    Makes me nauseous to the pit
    Still a nauseous ass
    Uncomfortable death pukes, breathes through a new tubular bell
    Spent systems and no velocity in the Scarabs in a shoe
    More talented for the visit
    A talented beetle you say with centuries of John
    Picks the kind, did I lie, hope you lied in July
    what the...

    this i like
    it makes no sense to me at all
    but somehow it works

    there's a guy with a ticket to Mexico
    no he coulden't look much stranger
    trippin down the hall with his things and all
    smiled and said he was the lone ranger.

    rollin into Los Angeles bringing in couple of keys
    don't touch my bags if you please Mr. customs man.

    without having ate psychedelics
    this manifestation
    has euphoria named after her
    she is each song up on top
    every leaf colored to the stream
    every bell a flower ringing for our home

    she

    and when i ran
    her in front of me as standing still as bird baths do
    this the exact chirping
    every feather to mine for her sky

    this difference ran hard
    this union is solid tracers
    zooming across low to the ground but as high as the moon

    somehow the sun and moon traded dances with her

    she

    the music blasted yet dead
    this fulfillment discharged the great accomplishments of fairytales
    her and i
    mine and she has this hand from my arm from my shoulder from my torso
    this is my thought
    all are her dreaming wide awake visuals and the color of excellence has bound itself to our blissfulness

    somehow this shakedown is a choir rusted as if welded to every grass blade
    each seed from forest to forest
    through this waterway to puddle to mud
    to a clear bucket of well water dipped into all seven tree frogs and waterfalls

    she

    and her has begun to increase my
    my...

    her enlargement is where i dine
    where i dwell and where i rest my comfortable poetry book
    notebooks pens and papers
    all nine pencils used
    sewn-united and unrelinquished

    and for her almighty blissful hand
    her kiss will shine like a pair of doves
    her lips upper and lower
    teeth between gold and pink
    this comotion in the background has a light
    when rails of cold steel come home
    each blue wing
    everything flutter-filled
    every morning resting peacefully beautifully atop a single sunflower

    nice topic and a great collection thus far. I will need to review them one by one more in depth. I think a fair amount of mine could be added in here...perhaps I will add a few.
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Well I’m hanging around
    The darker side of town
    And every time I’m up
    I’m out and down
    Cause I feel my plum disease
    And I’ve got just one release
    But every time I do
    It brings me right back down
    Around that lonely bend
    There darkness at the end
    And if I look to close
    I fear I wont cry
    It is my enemy
    Always conquers me
    But pick me back up
    As my only friend

    And if I stay this course
    Will it still show me some remorse
    Will I beg and plead
    Get down on my knees
    And will I pray for more
    Even though it makes it worse
    Oh can I defeat whats right in front of me

    Aunt Hazel rescue me
    For the rig that I see
    Is wiped clean of dust
    Or antifreeze
    Aunt Hazel rescue me
    I have no bad seed
    One ballot that I cast
    Will set me free

    Well I’m hanging around
    The darker side of town
    And every time I’m up
    I’m out and down
    Cause I feel my plum disease
    And I’ve got just one release
    But every time I do
    It brings me right back down

    And everything I know
    Lost in the bad seed I sow
    I have to feel numb
    From my pulse
    To my lung
    I pace my every breath
    Blind to my world
    Open to the rest
    I saddle up the horse
    To take me home

    Well I’m hanging around
    The darker side of town
    And every time I’m up
    I’m out and down
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    just another hit
    the dark room flashes yellow-red
    the coal home fires beneath earth's crust and my skin
    home planet on fire like a set of lungs
    my breathing

    and in this exact moment
    meditation over takes blissfulness and becomes it

    There's a song that was famous here in Australia over a decade ago that I sometimes get stuck in my head, always with the wrong lyrics, but close enough

    The mixed up lyrics that get stuck in my head are...

    I don't drink or smoke dope
    I don't laugh at dirty jokes
    And what I want to know is will I die of anything...

    For the real song and lyrics, follow this link...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptH2EV4Turk

    The thing is I don't drink (or at least I've drunk so little alcohol in my life that I feel comfortable saying "I don't drink" without feeling like a liar. I can safely say I've never been drunk).

    I don't smoke dope (or even cigarettes). I've never tried illegal drugs and have never abused the legal kind.

    And I pretend to be a prude when it comes to dirty jokes.

    So I find the song funny, but then it goes on to say "I'm an exerciser", which I completely am not. I don't go out of my way to exercise and I eat plenty of junk food, so, yeah, I'll die from something, but anyway, I'm so far off track now.

    My whole point of writing here is to say I can't really write here. I have seen the people around me abuse drugs and alcohol, my friends and family. They've even encouraged me to do the same, I've been offered drugs on numerous occasions by family and friends, not just casually, but quite forcefully (not physically forceful, but peer pressure to the max), but I have no interest in it. I'm also a little bit of a social outcast for not drinking (especially since I live in Australia and it seems to be something Australians pride themselves on. I don't like sports either. I am so un-Australian). Luckily for me, I've rarely found peer pressure difficult to overcome, so I get to live my boring life, just the way I like it.

    So I can't write about drug and alcohol abuse first hand, but I do have a question to ask...

    Does anyone here regret trying drugs and alcohol to begin with, or are you happy to have had the experience as something you have tried and overcome (or as something you continue to do, as the case may be)?
    i don't drink either and i get a lot of flack for not being a drunk like everyone else i grew up with who is still drinking. so i also don't get invited to events either. like you i dislike sports and i am so un-Assusie like. btw, foster beer stinks ;)

    Interesting question, and good on you for sticking to your principles...I wish more people did that.

    Me, no...I don't have misgivings about my initial and continued partaking. I do regret some of my young stupidity related to it - poor choices that come with youth (usually, anyway - I think I've gotten most of that out of my system by now) - but appreciate the experiences that came with it...that still come with it.

    Plus, I just enjoy it; my life isn't hampered.

    I'm sure I'll have more to add later - probably after having smoked a bowl or two ;)
