Astral

Here's why I was insensitive, and cursed:
I hurt my back and, suffering this pain
That runs across my hips and through my brain,
Reacting to each short but savage burst
Of agony indifferently dispersed
To every part of me, drove me insane.
So I've been crazy, on the astral plane
With giant toads and talking liverwurst.

So please forgive me, and when I have healed
And find myself once more possessed of sense,
I promise you a better recompense
Than raucous yelling. I have been revealed
By shamans underneath the chesterfield
To be a true friend, cautious and immense.
