Subtle Nonsense

smoke fills the tiny room
music sounds louder and clearer
pushed inwards by an unknown force
the walls move nearer and nearer

lines seem to blur and colours melt
stars scintillate like never before
darkness descends in a heavenly truce
as I stare through the open door

splendour falls on the concrete floor
these particles have a life of their own
wandering aimlessly like ignorant humans
oblivious to the unlit zone

mesmerized by this conjuration
I reach out for a mote of dust
my senses let me down again
as I hit the wall head first

rolls of boisterous laughter wake me
cruelly piercing through my head
but I can't stop laughing either
as I lay down with eyes blood red

then they hand me more of it
I'm beginning to like this stuff
sucked it in as one of them said
followed by a violent cough
