Mushrooms

Mushrooms

A Poem by Thomas W Case
"

Here is a link to a reading I did via Zoom in Iowa City. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKnpk9OMWXg&t=25s

"
Psilocybin silly when the
cops arrive.
Sitting on the couch naked,
laughter aching jaws.
They ask where my wallet is?
I ask, where my pants are?
Even they laugh.
I can't say mushrooms are
all bad.
They are the catalyst that
brought me back to the
hospital to deal with the
real killer...
Booze.

There have been articles in the UK Guardian about magic mushrooms' positive effects on depression, so maybe you were on the right track there. Booze is the real enemy certainly. Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Thank you, my friend. Much appreciated.
I've got solid interest in mushrooms and the whole dimensional reshaping of psychedilcs, as well as the theoritical research involving both science and philosophy! It is near historically-proven that many religions are born out of psychedelic experimentation and usage, hence, this was a marvelous read, and I commend you for your vulnerability in this piece!

There was a time when I used to go shrooming every autumn (fall) but had a few unpleasant experiences that blew my socks off and made acid something of a laughing stock .. But you are write, booze is the real killer .. Neville
