is it Friday already; my pill box says so
how many Fridays have fallen
into my palm. my nickname
is Friday, and I pop
my morning pills, interminably
mindful of ginkgo-biloba
and the rest; pillage
of my youth. left
for the book sale; to drop
off books and pick up more
from the library floor. ancient
you must think. watch me
amble row to row; I’m not
a Spring chicken; I’m wintering
in the sun; wandering; wondering
if pills are squandered on me.
oh yes, one more thing
I have to…ahem…go
Ginkgo Biloba
One a day.
To help make
your brain
not fade away.

Everyday I take Ginkgo Biloba for my health.
It helps me
to improve my memory
and..um..well I forget, but it's also used for something else.
