Dehydration

I often wondered
what was it about deserts
that escaped my Zen enlightment
why desertification was a problem
when others tried to protect desert species
from too much water…
too much water indeed
or light that comes from others
and I give back
I often wondered why
deserts are femme fatales
and if jaborandi can be found in them
if indeed pilocarpines can produce more salivation
like heroine or cocaine
and why marijuana does not work in Vegas
neither in the desert from Nevada to California.
I often wondered what would it take
to blossom Sahara
rise the fertile Earth above the sands
embellished by caffeine and other beautiful drugs
I wondered what would it take for me
to finally dehydrate
and come back to life.
