Love Poem (#3)

By shortandpretentious

oh, demon Marijuana!
this quadruped with technicolor streams
flying from mouth between
gasps and groans
convulsing asks God for help refused
"you've sinned more than 1,000 men"
polychrome still ejaculates
& he crumples like origami
in the hands of a five year old
even Lennon can't lull him to sleep,
closed eyes accompany explosions
roller coaster canyons
life slow drains he gives in
his body shrivels its for the best
