Amphetamine

AMPHETAMINE

I feel the beating of my heart
and I wake up with a start
not worrying or hurrying
just use the speed that I impart
to transmit, relay or convey
the glory of a brand new day
as the power of a drug
might aid me while I rev my brain
no ambling like a common slug
I break fast… now my coffee’s gone
with my toast to egg on bac on
then rush outdoors to greet the dawn
I’m flushed with energy and brawn
I sit to put my Nikes on
a moon walk from my quaint abode
to  jog on to the open road
I know I can no longer wean
on what is called Amphetamine

What a joy this was to read Ralph. When I was young doctors used to prescribe this to us as if it were unharmful. I can relate and this poem made me smile. I especially loved your lines "I sit to put my Nikes on a moon walk from my quaint abode to jog on to the open road" So creative! : ) xxoo
