i'll inhale the sweet flavors
the plant substance giving me wings
wings that grow straight out of my hands
feathers are sharp as a blade but as a soft as a kiss
wings that will unfurl and flap on their own accord
they'll take me above the people
who want to chain me to the hard, cold dirt
they'll take me safe into space
straight up into the stratosphere
higher and higher and higher
i'm on a different plane of existence
my mind has expanded to know all knowledge
my sense have expanded to taste, see, hear, touch
the angels and the pearly gates
nothing can drag me down
so i'll take another drag
i'll take another puff
because if i stop,
what happens when i fall?
i'm so used to soaring the clouds
it's hard to imagine what the ground is like
