about a good hour later
we were all feeling pretty good
mushroom juice had kicked in
everyone was smiling like a clown
bricks in the wall began moving
mortar slowly crumbled into pieces
bricks fell .. hitting the concrete floor
we were all laughing like madmen
I asked them did they happen to see
bricks and mortar shaking .. falling
crumbling all over the concrete floor
someone brought us a round of beer
then they all wiped their tears
from their eyes .. related yeah
insane, hallucinogenic laughter
we were trying to play pinball
someone pulled the handle back
shot the shiny silver ball into play
four guys operated two flippers
I was bumping the pinball machine
from the middle .. narrow front
seemed no one could hit the ball
with the flippers .. no one cared
just the ringing bells .. flashing lights
gave all of us a major head rush
about that time I felt something sharp
being pressed into the small of my back
reflection in the pinball machine's back glass
grasped my full, undivided attention .. next
I saw a local ex-con's sick evil grinning
I reckon they'd located me pretty easy
weren't that many places to go in winnie
my friends .. all stoned ripped high
never noticed the ex-con behind me
I said where the fuck is my protection
finally I whisked around .. grasped his bony wrists
I twisted his arms together .. a knife fell to the floor
junkie ex-con could be seen visibly trembling
not from any fears .. he was weak from not eating
taking all kinds of drugs .. running needles
slitted eyes were filled with bitter hate
I never let go of his weak wrists
all my stoned high ripped friends
could've taken him out right there
elbow his temple .. break his nose
I kicked his kneecap backwards
grabbed on to his grungy beard
butted his head .. hard with mine
told him if I saw him again i'd kill him
I let go of him .. he stumbled, limping away
screaming like a crazed demonic devil
