As a kid
I would sit
in my room
with the lights out
and a candle burning,
listening to space music
and getting really tripped out,
so as a old man
I just went
to the basement
and lit a candle
in the dark
and put on a CD
of strange electronic music,
and now it is gamma brainwave meditation
and now it is healing with candlelight
and now it is spirtuality,
but actually
it is the same tripped out kid
that I always was.
"Same as it ever was"
"I won't grow up".
