I was glad I wasn't in love, that I wasn't happy with the world. I like being at odds with everything. People in love often become edgy, dangerous. They lose their sense of perspective. They lose their sense of humor. They become nervous, psychotic bores. They even become killers.

The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the "Watchtower" itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.

With me, my main vision for life was to avoid as many people as possible. The less people I saw the better I felt.

be it peace or happiness let it enfold you

and our few good times will be rare because we have the critical sense and are not easy to fool with laughter

one can never be sure whether it's good poetry or bad acid

Life's as kind as you let it be.
