The Hauntings of Mary-Jane Pt. II

Blog Posts 2 Minutes

A friend offered him a cookie,

“You don’t disown a handsome biscuit”, he thought,

“Why risk it?”

Not a fat man with the body-hair of an unkempt Wookie.

Told afterward that it was laced with pot,

And that was more than he had sought.

~

It was time to make his way back home,

So, that he could suffer all alone.

~

“You don’t reject a cookie when it’s offered,

You eat that summa-bitch, that’s proper.”

He reassured himself,

As he leaned upon a bookshelf,

Asymmetrical in his symmetry.

Lost and forlorn, in a high life’s gimmickry.

Yet still managed to find the pantry.

~

Three cupcakes later and his stomach was sore.

Shouldn’t have eaten that last one,

After he’d dropped it on the floor.

Way too full,

But still wishing there were more.

~

His hands begin to vibrate,

As gravity,

Evades him and he levitates.

Like a hummingbird,

He flies due to rapid heart rate.

He floats until he dissipates.

~

Not because of fate,

But a hangover of cupcakes.

Sugar runs steadfast in his veins,

Completely wired, yet still sleepy in his brains.

~

To the living room to build a makeshift teepee,

But ended up distracted by the TV.

~

Time flies by,

One hour of the nature channel,

Left his eyes quite dried.

Nothing on but the history of Cocker Spaniels.

Was it time well wasted?

~

Nah

He tried to retain some info,

But honestly, he spaced it.

~

Hungry again, and he was off – back to the kitchen,

Food had now become his sanctimonious religion.

It was time for the cookie holocaust.

No mercy was shown for those sweet lives lost.

~

So damn hungry,

He could eat a vegetable,

Even though he’s full.

A hungry holocaust knows no prejudice,

And so, no food groups will be missed.

~

Four hours later he wakes up on the kitchen floor,

In a pile of crumbs and dust,

And half-eaten pizza crusts.

Nothing left but loathing and disgust,

Behind a stomach growing ever more robust.

~

No more deceptive biscuits,

For his waistline and grocery bills.

He’d aught to find a cheaper thrill,

In an intoxication less vicious.

Just another trippy, hungry high,

From behind a set of crazy, blood-shot eyes.

  5. A poem full of story. Beautiful as always. I will be a bit wary of men with blood shot eyes though, especially combine with insatiable hunger. I don’t want to live in the kitchen 😂

    You eat that summa-bitch, that’s proper.”
