Say NO to drugs

four lane highway all directions

rush hour before night

a long days events, a lane apiece

pain at the base of the neck

stop light, red, PLEASE!!!!

kangaroos on speed, it seems

the silence of a thunderstorm calls to me

exit 53, outside the city

take a right and follow the hill

lightning strikes and calls again

speed dial 2, that's me

madness of the mad threatens to engulf

70 or 80 at least, then maybe, just maybe, peace

a chance worth taking, a coin worth flipping

life at half-speed only a gypsy dream

to a hazy mind full of balloons

slowly madness fades, haze recedes

trade the viper for a falcon

I slip away, unseen
