Oxy Something

she mumbled and stumbled "i been here there and everywhere" "they are poisoning me" "i can't even see" "George help me". i called the nurse spoke to her about her curse she was on oxy something i said this stuff is making her sing told them about her whinge. they were giving it to her for pain but it was driving her insane "why did you bring these grapes. and why are those people dressed in drapes, they look like apes?" she told me she was on a trip something about a ship she was exhausted, half dead so she said drugs is all i am being fed. the clouds were rolled by outside my eyes were now open wide i released why she had been sleeping for days was in a haze and could only graze. they took her off some of the meds she started to gather the threads "you'll be okay tomorrow mum" "that stuff made you dumb" "you will only need to take some". in the morning she was sharper no longer stuck in that harbor "i'll come see you tonight mum" "you will be feeling much more plum" "i stuck those drugs up the doctors bum".
