Ode to Cotton Mouth - April 2009

Ode to Cotton Mouth


For since I do not have you,

I must remember best I can.

The days like this past Monday,

When a spliff was in my hand.

I found myself searching

For that feeling in my mouth,

The one that made saliva smack,

And had me heading south.

Down to the circle K of course

Since water could not cure,

And gum could not be found,

Up the isle I saw, obscured:

Gatorade—amongst the chips and chocolate

I wandered through the maze,

Oh, Cottonmouth, you waited so patiently,

In that silly haze.
