Selection for October 31, 2006: Escape

Escape

by Vince Vanguard Vainglorious

I was so high I had to do something

So I outstretched my bare arms,

jumped in the air and landed on top of Kilimanjaro

Came back to Earth and made love to Aset,

on a fragrant mattress of Nag Champa and Collard Greens

I sat on the Ashanti Stool at a platinum table

and ate barbequed pig feet

and drank passion fruit Alize in the presence of my enemies

I tore off a piece of Dead Sea scroll,

so I could roll me another biblical blunt.

Then I flew up to Heaven, but did not enter.

I put my ear to the sky and listened to God laugh.

I then began to think about regular men who appear similar to me,

who go to sleep at 11, wake at 7 and go to work from 9 to 5.
