withdrawing to past places
drug deals come and go
and whether they’re legal or not
hasn’t ever seemed to matter to the
general population or big pharma
we used to think we could handle
just about anything
[be it cooked artificially
or arriving naturally]
only later did we realize
what hurts the most
can’t possibly be remedied
without assistance from the
power of the mind
and so that gets us back
why we started in the first place
experimenting without reason
attempting to get back to a place
existing before the written word
before the world had no boundaries
