nothing so deep, it's just a variety that was floating around back in
the 70s in my neck of the woods that was meditative and
thought-provoking

revealing the shallowness of my dope lore, I never actually had
windowpane (though did get several flavors of microdot over the years,
some blotter, and an awesomely efficacious litte white pill one time
from a bearded guy in the park that he called white lightning -- who
knows what we were buying in those days?)

nor X - the first I heard of it was in 1985 when I read in the paper
that it had been made a scheduled drug -  Damn, I said, got to keep up
better!  It was legal up till then, like LSD before 1965
