Veggie Pizza































Veggie Pizza

The only time I smoked the marijuana,
I got really outrageously high.
And the strongest sensation I can remember
(apart from not being able to remember anything)
was how badly I missed veggie pizza.

Now you can't really say that I had the munchies,
because i didn't want to consuuume the pizza, per se.
But the memory of that soft Wilbur Dining crust
and perfectly layered gooey cheese,
topped with all kinds of yummy steamed (NOT ROASTED) veggies,
soaked in about an eighth of a bottle of Tapatio--

made me devastatingly homesick.
Unreality, I noticed, was pretty interesting, and not all bad.
But the fact that it would not give me veggie pizza,
which I knew to be the most perfect Platonic form in the whole wide real world,
was severely disappointing.

And that is how i became homesick for veggie pizza,
which i now eat every chance i get,
and thank the whole wide real universe for giving me
that one perfect Platonic form of all that is good and tasty.
