BECAUSE
(after the Beatles)
Christian Torres
Because the oblong world,
it makes me scry,
and the wind—
psilocybin.
Oregon, love is
no paywall.
Give me ego death.
I was the border fence,
I was the frontier.
It is my human right
to blow my mind out
through a mushroom-shaped
keyhole in my breast.
The bluebird sky.
Aah.
