A Literary High

Language can alter consciousness;
letters like L.S.D.;
stories can take you on a trip
beyond reality.

Try prose instead of Prozac;
lines of verse and not Cocaine;
cause Literature can get you high
but it will not rot your brain.

Don’t bother with them other drugs.
If you want to get hooked;
curl up in bed with a hot mug
of Cocoa and a book.
