Laurie Slicer Poet Free verse

Scientific Method

Hypothesis:
     Hurt is
     Whether you want it
     Or not

Experimental Design:
     In whatever a day is
     And while appearing sane
     I will work my way through
     One bottle of drugstore scotch
     One nickel bag of back alley weed
     One 10-year-old’s scrip of Ritalin

Results:
     Scotch hurts
     And I want a dime of weed 
     And a grown-up’s scrip for Vicodin

Conclusion:
     Hypothesis proven - 
          But damn
          I don’t care anymore
