Ain’t Easy Bein Kesey
Kerouac traveled far, but I went FURTHER.
Somewhere along the way I tripped on a school bus
and was sent tumbling merrily across America.
Hysteria.
Just let the Kool-Aid carry ya.
Jerry and I ran some tests,
and even the Angels turned on
tuned in
dropped out:
We got help from the man with the guru grin
who was “on the outside looking in”
and coined that magick mantra.
Chief Broom opened my Demon Box
and I flew over the cuckoo clocks
all the way to Oregon
where Leland Stamper told me to
WATCH OUT!
WATCH OUT!
WATCH OUT!
Maybe I should have taken Leland’s advice.
Does blotter burn the brain??
A lysergic chisel and a mind made of wood
has fashioned me more inspired/less understood.
From where I once stood, has it been too high of a climb?
I’m not too sure
“I been away a long time.”
