For bluedeuce, who challenged the following:

From Harold and Kumar go to White Castle: Kumar/big bag of pot, with three words: high, human, and dysfunctional.

Of course, I could also apply the same three words to the 'fallback' classic of Glinda/Elphaba. ;) Which, in hindsight, I think I did manage to finagle... a two-fer! ;)

I fail at word counts: 96w.



It's a deep-seated hunger
that drives the relentless
need for euphoria
and release at the same time.

Like a kite newly freed,
drifting beyond
the treetops,
the soul rejoices
and soars high above
the confines of the human body.

It's a strange mish-mash
of unspoken wants and needs
that open the rebellion
against expectations.

It's a level of innate skills
and hidden talent that manifests
under dysfunctional times --
a forced confession of possibilities.

An induced lassitude
that abandons the constrictions
of someone else's expectations,
drifting along a river of dreams
and creating a new reality.
