I once saw a post online
about how this man has been on the same LSD trip
for a decade
and I thought it was absurd —
psychedelics enter the system
shifts in lights and fractals enter your mind
and it stays there
somehow you die and never are reborn
purely synthetic creativity
and you never leave and I think
maybe the first couple days
are perfectly fine and enjoyable
but then after a week you hate it
and you hate the hallucinations and the sights you see now
a guy responds
“You’re good man. Go walk in grass, maybe barefoot. It’ll end it all.”
I’ve never had
Lysergic acid diethylamide in my system
but I’ve been walking barefoot in the grass for about 2 years now
and the trip has never ended
