Mushrooms

Thomas W Case



Psilocybin silly when the
cops arrive.
Sitting on the couch naked,
laughter aching jaws.
They ask where my wallet is?
I ask, where my pants are?
Even they laugh.
I can't say mushrooms are
all bad.
They are the catalyst that
brought me back to the
hospital to deal with the
real killer...
Booze.

          A great write that acknoleges the good in all things. In its dark humor you send a powerful message in most poetic form

          Ironic humour made out of a dark situation, cleverly done and enjoyed

          Booze can be a killer Thomas. I know two people who were alcoholics but have now been alcohol free, one for 9 years and the other for 13 years.

            Another great poem, Thomas. The tone reminded me of Bukowski. Nicely done.
