AUTHOR'S NOTE + SYNOPSIS
DROP THROUGH THE SKY
The SLA slips Patty LSD, sending her on a vertiginous psychedelic journey with dark passages
Drop drop drop
Cubed electric molecule
Secret sugar eucharist
Dissolve in kool-aid paper chalice
Asking Alice if she knows
The taste of sunshine infrared
Does she know like she knows what it’s like
That’s what she said she said
Drop drop drop through the sky
Pull back the veil
Drop drop drop through the sky
Pull back the veil
Calliope choirs rise spiraling
Made the grade of twenty-five
All around the round and round
Lysergic diethylamide
Drop drop drop through the sky
Pull back the veil
Drop drop drop through the sky
Pull back the veil
Honeycomb towers origami
Articulate with skewing truths
Smudge and stain reveals so beautiful
Swivels swarming unease in me
Drop drop drop through the sky
Pull back the veil
Drop drop drop through the sky
Pull back the veil
Transdimensional alien kingdoms flicker
Behind wallpaper twigs and leaves
Geometric touch-and-goes unravel
Deaf and darkly taunt and tease
Melting walls in phasing waves
While rhythm trickles in the ceiling
Plastic mystic visions swimming
With encoded stolen meaning
Drop drop drop through the sky
Pull back the veil
Drop drop drop through the sky
Pull back the veil
Unfolding shifting scales
In shifting scales in shifting scales
In shifting scales in shifting scales…
(Why are you the walrus
I am the Walrus
How come I can’t be the walrus
You're not the walrus
Aw, man, I never get to be the walrus)
