Gather Around and Taste the Star Shine

reading the iron in a meteorite is the same as the iron content of our blood
the chemistry of body and the cosmos recalls an acid trip
one late summer night at the american river under a full moon
light trails from one or two stars striated my vision and slowed time
i was the star of my own movie played at half-speed
that's when i knew the stuff that made my mind and body
is the same stuff that composed the moonlight and starshine
i was totally out of it i quoted a line from that flick where the hippy says,
let it be known SATAN was an acidhead drink from my cup and let's all freak out
