"Passing the Time Away"
Joining a state of consciousness
I'd rather leave unsaid,
I find a plane of pleasantness;
My body turns to lead.
The clouds begin to wander by;
Angels within the smoke . . .
I fight the feeling; wanting to cry,
Only forming a choke.
The trickle of salt, down my face,
Has left my liner run.
My friends take off in absurd chase
To find a loaded gun.
Wish my time would wither away
And leave me to my maze.
I know not one excuse to stay
'Cept to enjoy the haze.
My friend has found the instrument
For my self-destruction;
I volunteer to implement
Her foolish instruction.
Whizz the cylinder, watch me gang;
The barrel's at my head . . .
Squeeze-click, Squeeze-click, Squeeze-click, Squeeze-BANG!!!
