Faceless

Faceless

Took a trip

On the hallucinogenic highway

Riding in a spaceship

My eyes were blind

Depriving me of my sight

Yet my mind

Wandered all thru the night

Butterflies flit

Into the unlit

Recesses of the brain

A rowboat appeared

Then disappeared

Going down the drain

Then from the deepest pit

Death was seen

Outlined in the light

The highway ended

With a bump

As it bended

Towards the dump

I woke from

My trip

On the spaceship

Vowing never to succumb

To the hallucinogenic highway

Nonetheless I looked

In the mirror

Overcome by fear

I had become faceless
