If You Are Stoned

I wake up early in the morning and it feels so good.

Smoking on some shit that you wish you could. 

– Snoop Dogg

Yo, dude –

If you are stoned

and decide to shoot your ass into space where you spend less time than it takes to count your money,

that’s okay.  At least, you’re divorced.
If you are stoned

and think a patriot surrenders voter rights to protect the filibuster,

which is after all, a voting right, 

seek counseling.
If you are stoned

and believe the government cannot mandate you wear a mask

but do believe the government should force a woman to give birth,

inconsistency is the hobgoblin of chaos.
If you are stoned

And walking barefoot on plush carpeting with a chilled glass of a low-priced chardonnay

listening to Ferde Grofe’s Grand Canyon Suite,

life is good,

you might think to yourself in your head.

If you are stoned

and reading this, poetry will make you far sexier and may lead to weight loss.

and ringing in your soul.

If you are stoned.

Cabin at the Oregon Coast 1989 maybe. Stoned in the sun.
