High Times
Your hands are looking at you funny. Gods and Devils are dancing at the periphery of your vision. The colours don't sound right and you're not sure if you'll ever be sure of anything again.
You're not in Kansas anymore, but you might, perhaps, have partaken of a pick-me-up from Alice's sweet stash of psychoactive cinema. Dive into the depths of delerium. Soar angelic on the immaculate high. Try to keep it together.
Now THAT'S a good cup of coffee.
