Alan Watts, when asked about using psychedelics, said “When you get the message hang up the phone”.
Contentment
May be reached through the bottle
The needle
Even through a sugar cube
I am catching a glimpse this moment
By these words
Scribbled on the tube
But all these paths are transitory
You can never remain on the top
As now it’s time to put away my pen
The train has arrived at my stop
