choosing a new reality.

Popped 60 mils
of those
rattle-shakin pills

wish I hadn't now,
but they all say
they'll help

just wish I knew
who "they" was-
be it high-dose meds or
well-meaning friends

Feel them cling to my
throat and emotions
like amoebas (or whatever)

and if I jump
I'll sound like
a goddamn
maraca.

Will you join my medicated band?

Tomorrow's the 90's and we'll really make it
shake.
