Taking it straight through the thin epidermal layer
that divides our tender nerve saturated flesh
from the harsh and weathering world
that carries us babes like a treacherous womb.

Taking it straight into the cells
that proliferate in overpopulated societies of tissue.

Taking it straight,
with no mixer marring the potent rush of undiluted extremes,
and sucking it into one's belly
for it to ferment and metabolize.
