somebody's dungeon

What pearl of abnormal wisdom
do you offer me now
in this crowded room
static blaring
from the tv
hours after the
anchor man has
said good-night?

yeah, pass the pipe

Then fill me, sage
drive your point home
with some heart-felt
smoke induced advice
from the canyon
of your wisdom
deep inside your
marijuana laced brain
that I won't follow
anyway
for tomorrow
I'll forget all of this.

This is quite a good poem.  I can totally identify with the TV still going long after the anchor's departure.  I loved your ironic and even oxymoronic portrayal of the sage's advice.  I especially liked these lines:

drive your point home
with some heart-felt
smoke induced advice

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"
