the bogart

Tristan Robert Lange



cannabis sits there
on this thin-veiled autumn night;
I think I will toke.
 
a long drawn inhale—
the smoke held within my lungs;
I let it all out.
 
within two inhales
I finish this hand-rolled joint;
the high takes over.
 
I then close my eyes;
listen, i’m not here to share
that which is now mine.
correct!—I will never share
the thing that I have taken.
 
know that I will not be shaken—
by your lame pleas for pity.
think I can?—you are mistaken.
 
your ass is henceforth forsaken
and your end ain't gonna be pretty;
know that I will not be shaken—
 
this state shan’t be overtaken.
I can't be fooled, you're not witty;
think I can?—you are mistaken.
 
your fate has been undertaken;
i've smoked your soul...tasted shitty.
know that I will not be shaken—
 
float in my brain and awaken
that I can’t forget this ditty—
think I can?—you are mistaken.
 
in due time, I'll have taken
more souls without any pity.
know that I will not be shaken—
think I can?—you are mistaken.

  • Comment from author about the poem: “the bogart” is written in Chameleon Cantos, an original poetic form. It began with a joke about someone bogarting your stash…and my imagination took it from there. You're welcome. 😏 Part of the Darklings collection.
