Run Forrest Run
light of life's reflections be seen as
within minds meme-ores...easier...
than heard as some physics-call of a
ringing headache as a reflect...shun...

On aspirin bottles these words are clearly written
Take two in the morning and “keep away from children”
Does it mean "stay away from your kids"
At least till the threat is eclipsed
You could wind up with blood red contusions
Warning on aspirin bottles: STAY AWAY FROM CHILDREN!
Sounds like pharmaceutical companies are taking a position
They're parents too
It's like a zoo
Be patient, their kids will grow up and be affected with this affliction
From the very first time I laid eyes on you,
I couldn't think of anything to say.
My heart couldn't resist this feeling,
Personally Knowing the moments that swiftly pass In the blink of an eye.
The glint of pain that presides.
Throbbing erratically.
In life I've felt pain before.
But not like this,
I think of you as relief.
An immediate rush to the head.
Dispersing through my body.
An Aspirin of all sorts
Thought to cure a moment of pain.
Not wanting to prolong any moment,
I took them without water, your words.
Needing you now,
A drug induced lullaby.
Hoping to awake with you in my arms.
I am not suprised you came to visit
I am not surprised It hurts when I see you
maybe it is you who missed me
or maybe it was me who called you.
but one thing I am sure
I do NOT want to know you.
This small piece is going to help me
This small piece every day.
One week, no longer than that
One week, and you will be less than a cat.
One every eight and one every four,
I swear I did it before.
This time I tell you
I am not that old
You are just a cold.
Whenever you get a headache where the pain pounds and continues to wallow
just follow the instructions written on the back of the aspirin bottle.
Take Two Aspirin
and Keep Away From Children.
