Head trip

Dave BontaDreamy

finding a guide to our own two heads

fair and tunable with people in them

they are not as I expected but pleasant to stone

Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 12 June 1668 (Pepys’ rough notes for an unfinished entry)

Summary

The poem imagines a kind of travel guide for the inside of the mind, a book that would show us around "our own two heads." The title, "Head trip," plays on this: a trip is both a journey and, in slang, a mind-altering experience.
