I remember I once saw the pigs fly,
Amongst the milky white clouds,
Leading me to the end of a rainbow.
I remember I expected a pot of gold,
With a cute little leprechaun on top of it,
But instead, I found big mushrooms,
I remember the small people living in them,
Reminding me of Alice,
And her journey in wonderland,
I remember how nothing made sense,
But it was so wonderful,
Captivating indeed, as it held me, prisoner,
I remember being detained,
By some wide-roofed dancing mushrooms,
Along with some fetid leaves and tiny pills,
I remember losing my appetite,
And succumbing to my incarcerator,
Who destroyed my being,
I remember it eating me alive,
Slowly, one breath, one gasp at a time,
Until I finally gave way,
Until I finally gave way.
