Up In Smoke
written by: Gerry Stefanson
what, it’s four-twenty & it’s a good thing
holy exclamation mark
word in the laboratories, medical journals
why even on the avenues
three somewhat credible sources
though it may sound FOXy
to you and or me.
Hallowed Halls of Wisdom concur
that the use of cannabis decreases
the chance of suicide
well, let’s put that in every teen’s pipe
and see who smokes it
then we can gather in this Nirvana and
“talk about it”
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Well, so say the Sayers? Could be a good way to engage a teen, an option, just about the only positive advice I’ve come across. Dr. Google will be under my microscope.

Born and raised on the prairies of Manitoba Canada, along the Red River and just south of Lake Winnipeg. Then Alberta and ten years in the Rockies, just above Montana. The last decade in the Canadian Gulf Islands. People, ideas and stories set the stage of my poetry and writing. Music and art fill my days and verse fills my head. I feel the fortunate one and share this world with my life partner.
