Alright, last one. There's like ten of these drug poems on my computer now. This is about the split second before taking (or not taking) a drug:

The Choice

The next one is lethal
The next one is close
The next one's a coinflip from overdose

The next one is hyper
The next one is pure
The next one takes you higher than ever before.

I kind of liked "Candy Girl" and "Mushroom Dreams" more than I liked "The Choice." This last one just does not seem as fulfilling as the other two. It might just be me though; I'm sure people enjoy it. Keep up the good work with the drug poems.

I really like this one. Very... futuristic. Reminds me of the Re-Animator, sort of.

Sorry, my bad. I mean Mushroom Dreams.

"The Choice" leave a lot to be desired. I dislike it. And the other poem isn't finished so I won't comment on it, however...

Mushroom Dreams

Stereo bubbling
people dripping
from the ceiling
in the kitchen

Man in top hat
keeps on laughing
balloons get passed
with nitrous gassing

skin is freezing
skin is burning
lights are spinning
head is twirling

hazy beauty
dark and twisted
faces melt
while smearing lipstick

I love this one in that it's almost subliminal. I know I have heard of this style somewhere but I can't quite think of it at this time... At any rate this is wonderful. The lines are crisp, each line adds such wonderful imagery, and the over all picture is great. Great job.

Thanks man, that poems all about the very first time I took mushrooms.

Yeah, The Choice was kind of a bad idea. I wanted to make an extremely short simple poem describing that split second before doing something incredibly stupid, but this poems actually a lot more complicated than my thought process. My actual thoughts are more like "Will this hurt m... ah shit I already took it."

So were I really failed was by trying to write out a thought process to something I don't really think about.
