&quot;A friend in need is a friend indeed, a friend with weed is better.&quot;<br /> &quot;Then he put on forty-two and a half tabs of brown acid that he still had from his Woodstock days. She saw all kinds of colors. Lemon yellow, orange orange, cherry red, kaleidoscope eyes. The world was on fire.&quot;

A bird without a wing
isn't a bird at all
and a dog without ears
can't be a dog at all.

Perfect can't be perfect,
with a couple of flaws
and a city isn't a city
without a book of laws.

A person without a heart,
can't be a person at all
unless they can love
without having to fall.
