DAVE ROSKOS

(The Psychedelic Experience)

Is the psychedelic

experience

distracting?

it can be unnerving

under less than

ideal circumstances

like a parking lot

full of cinder blocks

& police

w/ riot gear

bayonets & flowers

snakes curling

thru dollar signs

reflected in eyeballs

dilated pupils

pin pointed by Junk

the prophet is drunk

& doesn’t want to

hear what’s hidden

in pigeon chatter

mutter clutter.
