12/22/78 Alien Pancho People passed burning joints my way and I had a hard time judging the distance between our hands. My arms felt really long. A woman who looked like a fat Janis Joplin offered me some popcorn. I stood there mesmerized; holding it my hand, amazed at how light is was. Wow, man, I remember bleating out loud towards no one in particular. When its a solid kernel of corn, its heavier. You can really feel it. Then you throw it in some oil, heat it up, and it becomes... this. This amazing thing. Its bigger, but its lighter. Dude, its atomic. Its like a little bomb. Chewing the popcorn was a major tipping point. I could feel each individual molecule being ground smaller and smaller between my teeth. I forgot how to swallow and had to spit it all back out into my hand. Then I looked at it again and put it back in my mouth. I was teaching myself how to eat. In front of a Fat Janis Joplin and a UFO full of hippies from Up North. This all seemed really profound at the time for some reason.
