I LIT A JOINT

i lit a joint
in a dirty trailer
in southern illinois
listening...seeing...
getting high.
all senses atuned
she next to me
earth mother
and mother earth
both lovers.
and all was love
as war raged
on the other side
of the world.
and i knew not,
that i was to face:
my personnal armageddon.
battles,
wars,
fright,
but not in my sight,
that day,
of love,
in a dirty trailer,
in southern illinois.
