Elliptical White Tablet

Consume not liquid lest you feel inebriation
The fat of this earth shall not pass your tongue.
While under the thrall of this passionless thing
Never again to know reality's touch.

Beware the effects
that will certainly occur.
The thoughts may cause some nausea

when you see the malady
mercurial and volatile
spinning straight into the sky.

Swallow whole this deliverance
and salivate with indifference.

Do not chew and do not crush,
and do not dare inhale the dust.
