Not Growing Up



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".
