Ketamine 7 - Why it Was

By Convolution

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

After a long period of introspection, I was satisfied with my grip on the situation. I knew then that if I could control my mind, I could control everything in this carnival. It was not until this point that I had undergone the change this experience had etched in me. For the sake of retaining some element of reality, there is still, to be explained, the matter of what substance had been forced into me. There is a somewhat less than common anesthetic in existence that is used mainly for veterinary medicine. However, it is sometimes administered to children, as there are no proven adverse side effects provided that the patient is fourteen years of age or less. For an unknown reason, there appear a plethora of dissociative and psychedelic results when the drug is administered to patients ages fifteen and older. At the time, I happened to be fifteen years old, and therefore was placed, by doctors, at the mercy of the chemical Ketamine Hydrochloride. I shall venture onto a limb by making a non-medical analogy of the drug’s effect: it was as if, by sieving my conscious into my subconscious, I was transported into another world created unconsciously by myself.
