Nucleic Acid Trip

Ever since mom and dad dropped acid

I've become less spiritual, more

molecular.  I've enjoyed a structured

hallucination.  Grown body and mind.

I've become a tactile beast.  I hear,

speak, see, smell, taste, and feel.

I must maintain body functions:

eat, breathe, and breed. 
   

I am a seeker of warmth, shelter, and love,

competing with other hallucinations

for a bit of recognition and status

on this orderly speck in the cosmos.

Before this happened, I was the cosmos!

A part of it all.  Apart from it all

I'm this complex being.

Contend with me...
