People Smoke A Joint Because/one of my practice poems
People smoke a joint because
It calms them down,
It makes them laugh.
The symmetry of mediocrity’s
Conventions flee.
It also makes them hungry.
Answers come, and often laughter
Is the payoff.
Groups ingested LSD
To see more beauty,
Dig into the new
Change patterns that were old in mind,
Find truths that were not there to find,
Break down, build up
And sip the cup
Of everything there is to sip.
People drink because they are
More able to shift gears,
Take risks,
Lose fears.
The problem is to lay off.
Get it? Payoff. layoff?
I liked that.
