PILL
ONE PILL MAKES U LARGER + ONE PILL MAKES U SMALL
New neurologist said this should have resolved itself by
now Well so should a lot of things She wore mushroom
coloured Blundstones exact shade of her boiled wool suit
Lips dry as a bone a wasting purple lipstick likely MAC
Purple Nurple Yet she asks me ! How many bottles of
water do you drink? As I sit there cool as a moist cucumber
Even after waiting 1 hr The patient before me was late
This after a 2 yr. wait to genuflect at her Blunnied feet Poor
little poet on a stormy February day when the white tunnel
does not stop at Wonderland a la Alice but at cabin fever +a
whitebrite claustrophobia boring into your brain
Wherever you look white stuff some yellowed some browned
And Torontonians crawling upon bellies due to a world shortage
of salt +sanity In an Ayn Rand world (think Atlas Shrugged
+ We The Living) mediocrity + incivility went unrewarded
(are you listening Justin?) And the late patient would have waited
until the other 26 were seen but not so in squeaky PC clean 2018
I grabbed my silver lamé jacket shrieking Viva la Revolución! Head
pounding stomach squeamish +made a bee line for Reposado where
the Anjeo is served by lush Zøe And the Mezcal is full of succulent worms
for munching Viva civility! Viva Dr. Agave!
