Date With Sister Morphine

 

Sometimes it´s good to revisit old lovers

to see what happened with them and

remember why you left.

Drugs are the same…similar desire,

fulfilled or not…memories of good 

and bad times….similar addictions.

Derangement of the senses is a good 

way to stimulate creative imagination 

that goes beyond pedestrian 

viewpoints…that´s why there was 

modern art. It´s good to feel the old 

crutch in your hands and remember 

the pain…one last moment with your 

old lover to taste the ashes.

 

The Beats weren´t the first….the 

Romantics weren´t the first…even the 

people that wrote the Vedas weren´t 

the first. The hippies may have thought 

they invented LSD, but humans have 

been using enhancing substances for

thousands of years. My generation just

reminded the USA there was something 

more to life than suburbia. The message 

derailed the certainty in the American 

Dream. ¨Back to square one¨, (didn´t 

one of the Founding Fathers say 

that once?).
