Poisonous to pets,
an understatement targeting
plant loving pet owners –
Lady Datura,
You disguise your potency
beneath a shower
of trumpeting splendor.
Like the rose
you both attract and repel,
your seed pod
a thorny grenade
of delusional potency.
The records show
settlers at Jamestown
went out of their minds
dining on a tossed salad
with these culpable greens
A delusion is/isn’t
hallucinating,
so heard the doctors
from one emergency room case
after the activated charcoal
had kicked in to counteract
the startlingly real effects.
Friends found him scrubbing his hair
standing stark naked
in the middle of an unknown
neighbors living room,
indulging in a convincingly real
yet imaginary shower.
He could not recall crossing
the well disguised threshold.
It all remained
as tangible as
daily commonplace reality.
Wait!
He screamed in horror.
Is it still going on!?!
He lost his mind.
Let us know if you find it.
brilliant! and a great ending !
Thanks for taking the time to say so…
