The LSD had a delayed reaction,
For one person it took an hour, For another twenty years. It dropped Into an iced tea, it permeated a shower Across a county. Some parts were Digested easily, and a tree appeared With a human face. Other times It took awhile before the blue ponies reared. But what good will it do when we Do not read or walk along The avenue and give a quarter To a bum or to King Kong? A strength comes from words, From points, from sparks, from life Scattered in the trees and Cuba Road, the mantis and fife, Caught in the web or van Allen belt, The instrument panels glow, The patient is growing stronger, The valley under the dirty snow Opens to a pool, and through The narrow defile the stream Spreads, the minnows flash, The broader current frees the bream.
