                The echos are nice
                  if you keep a clean house.
                We each hear our note amid the rest
                  and so listen … raw note.
                …and if the cloth is to be frawth with meaning
                and I do it here … then where else?
                calling’ bottom line … dropping’ acid
                  and if it’s just because I dropped?
                In an acid trip any reflection is a glare.
                Why is it, on acid, I can feel being
                  give rise to being
                like that warm fire that rises from my stomach
                  and invades every fiber.
                Men I can respect are beginning to form pictures
                  around me … Bach, Rajneesh …
                I’ve been thru the ones who write about it
                  It is! It’s with what respect we give it.

                Witnessing can be done anywhere.
                  So nothing needs be done
                    no need to begin …
                Amid the drifting sheets
                  of the afternoon’s suchness
                    three o’clock calls
                A day starts as an accolade
                  and then drifts to mixed reviews
                those that applaud the rise
                  and those who mourn the fall
                  so every act
                    … moment… person… thought…
