Sweet Escape

Lulled by the soft rolls of waves,
the body's languid,
and the mind's adrift.
The cacophony dims,
as the world swirls before her very eyes.
Tangible and intangible coalesce.
The stage a phantasmagoria,
with its actors dancing between her fingers.
She seems filled with a drug-induced euphoria,
Giggling as truth eludes her grip.

All until one pricks her finger.
