Reached for: Acid (LSD) (II)
“I want the high, the merge, the thrill, and I'll let the grounded, responsible parts of life slide to get it.”
It runs as a reality-avoiding chase after highs, a self-distracting stimulation- and merger-addiction that reaches for thrills and union at the expense of grounding and everyday responsibility. The seeking looks like appetite for the transcendent; it is a way of dissolving out of a world that feels like too much to stand in. What it asks for is to stay grounded long enough to find the world is bearable sober.
The lotus-eaters, who tasted the flower and forgot their homes and their errands, content to drift in a sweet oblivion with nothing left to return to. The form implies a task: to leave the lotus and take up the oar.
