near dawn I woke .. woozy .. as I nimbly stood
wondering where in the hell I was at
it didn't help .. my head felt over sized .. obtuse
like i'd drank some magical mushroom juice
the last memory I recall
Szzay had been vehemently dancing over me .. in bed
weirdly chanting .. ungodly .. unearthly noises
I tried to shake all .. from within my traumatized mind
looking around .. I heard faint snoring
she was fast asleep in the far corner of the darkened room
standing on her head .. feet pointed high to the ceiling
I thought she must really have a buzz
from the handful of crazy tabs she'd taken .. in the shower
the Eagles were still on tv .. playing Witchy Woman
determined to catch up .. I discovered the bong half full
firing up my trusty zippo .. i'd gotten from Harley Bill
I inhaled deep puffs of the sweet smoke .. exhaled
coughing as I raised the window .. transients .. aliens ..
and crackheads lay passed out .. scattered in the alley
finishing the last of the potent cannabis buds
I looked into the mirror .. my lengthy hair swirled in snarls
I'd no idea what she'd done to me as I'd slept
checking my body .. all parts seemed fine .. I wasn't sure
I quickly washed my stubble face .. no need to shave
brushed my teeth and hair .. jumped into my leathers
hearing a loud thump .. I knew she'd fallen
taking a cautious peek .. I saw her face down .. choking
trying to breathe .. her metal hair snagged in the carpet
I attempted to free her with my pocketknife .. no luck
rushed to my bike .. retrieving a pair of channel locks
soon she was free .. the tool did the trick
I related to her .. we'd walk over to the Greasy Spoon
have a quick bite while it's still early and no one is around
whilst helping her squeeze into the two bodysuits
I couldn't help but stare at her unusual anatomy
upon leaving the seedy motel .. she slammed the door
the volume rose .. of the Eagles song .. Hotel California
