Dare: to Keep the Kids off Drugs

crack the egg, let it fry
on a cast iron skillet.

this is your brain on drugs.

oil on asphalt shows
a luminescent graffiti.

this is your brain on drugs.

half inch pool of stale beer
brings the black hole sun.

this is your brain on drugs.

an extended stay hotel.
cooking on an electric stove.

this is your brain on drugs.

city trip full of McDonald’s hashbrowns
in a golden Ford Taurus.

this is your brain on drugs.

a Contigo full of Jagermeister,
work clothes, wet and cold.

this is your brain on drugs.

a treatment, an office,
a gentle waterfall.

this is your brain on drugs.

crack the egg.

let it fry.

this is your brain on drugs.
