GLASS PIPE DREAMS


 


 


Gypsy Minstrel


Lyrical purpose


Philosophical transient


Depth charged mind


Irrational outlook


Damp grey fog


Suffocating


Mist cloaked alley


“Huffers” canned graffiti


Inner city hieroglyphics


Glass pipe dreams


Vain disintegration


Sultry siren


Cream colored nugget


Veiled by pocket lint


Lures him ever onward


Reality


Raw


Nauseous dismay


His next painful lesson


Death


No second thought


 


 


 


“Huffing
Huffing, also called puffing, involves inhaling vapors from household items as common as a can of cleaning spray or whipped cream. Spraying the propellant into a bag or rag and breathing the fumes can produce a "high." Other items that can be huffed or sniffed include markers and gasoline. Among the most dangerous and most common inhalant is spray paint, especially metallic colors. Inhaling spray paint or other toxic chemicals like it can cause brain damage or death.”
