Juice of the Gods

J.Edse

Jupiter, god, the divine

rainmen, shamen

every monk, dignitary, skriglitary

will shine down upon you

glorify your path

emblazon it

in your mind

their mind

everyones

they will show you the secret ingredients

the bona fides required for zestful, inside out

out of body art forms, experiences

you’ll grow another self in yourself

he’ll sit just inside your mouth

telling all those little lies

 

that will begin to take over

wedge you out

split you inside, in half

a better half

you’ll think you’re hot shit

puking and screaming all over

little old ladies

skunks and squirrels in the park

frightening the little girls

on your morning walk

 

you’ve turned into a rabid, wild, beating, wet dog

you need to go back, come back

want to come back

highs

lows

in between, you’re a fire inside and out

that singes your nostrils

traces up through your eyes and escapes

out your head

popping

with a force that makes you finally and truly

open to true love, liberty, and

the pursuit of happiness

that’s patriotism.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This poem came out in a totally spontaneous burst of energy! Sometime I wrote around the rhythm or a rock song and I just let my fingers fly. Have fun with this one!
