Mushrooms from Karmatrain by Outside In

8. Mushrooms

I live in a shell, it fits me well, keeps me on the ground, inside I’m spinning round. Today I’m dropping out.

Pretty colours on the screen pull me in and comfort me. Follow the river downstream towards a solitary tree, and wait there for me.

“Is this really all that it means to be alive?”I call out of the window of my shell.

This paper, worthless, we agree, has bought and sold democracy for a piece of pie we cannot eat, eye on a prize we’ll never see. Your god is your greed.

“Is this really all that it means to be alive?” I call out of the window into the night.

There’s a tree standing by a river. When the night is right...

There’s a tree standing by a river, I am The Wolf when the moon is bright and full...and the moon is bright and full!

Take your time at the tree by the river.
