I Took Them
I took my meds one night.
The vegetables on the counter.
Are easier to prepare into a meal now.
I used to throw everything away.
They all ran away.
Things that normally can’t run.
Did anyway.
I took my meds one night.
I slept. I was sleepy. Then I don’t remember much.
Morning is one of those things.
They try to make us eat breakfast.
I drank coffee.
And it was good.
Less frantic.
Less shaking as I poured.
Fewer tears.
I took my meds one night.
They did what they did inside of me.
Pills are always…
Perfectly shaped.
I took my meds one night.
And they dissolved inside of me.
