Welcome to the world of Realistic Hallucinations. On one hand I have an urge to explain this book of poems, but on the other I wish it to be read without any explanation, so take your choice; read this or skip straight to the work itself. What are these "Realistic Hallucinations" and how did they come about ?

I stole these lines from all over the place; Tom Wolfe's "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test", Henry Kane's "Fistful of Death", "Sportsman Like Driving" (a drivers-ed handbook), The J. Peterman Catalog, newspaper articles, magazines, junk mail advertisements, etc... And then I added some miscellaneous lines of my own poetry into the mix...
