word jam : people think I'm on drugs



oi mate, 2 meters please 

sometimes frozen after dinner mints  
taste better on a hot day  
especially when offered 

now we all look like letter boxes 

people sometimes think I'm on drugs ! 
every now and then a random acquaintance will hint at it 
and I remember once the police in Italy thought i was druggy 
even when I hadnt had any

well I dabbled a bit in my teens 
but then I was not
being more straight edge 

sometimes I think its cool to talk about drugs 
and things I learned from them 

I'm just very right brained
going deep within

a whale in the last throes of death 

on the dodgems 

like a blubbery seal 
slaps down onto dry land 
stupefied and squealing  
honking like a foghorn 

unaware of the polar bear behind 
brandishing its jaws

i felt something jump down my throat
now there is a frog in there 

what colours are going on inside you ? 
im full of the greenery 
going on outside 

some inky violets and purples and pinks 

you can feel whatever feelings
you want to feel here 
nobody will put any pressure on you 
or judge you for them 

chasing bigger and bigger highs 
until they finally do me in  

a sensible answer ?

i didnt know who i was 
i was quite ill for 3 days 

the birds are singing 
how wonderful it is 
to wake up to this world
