bound, tethered, undone with a gentle pull. 
 
The bunny ears

Here take these
And put on a happy...

“Zoloft.” was someone’s loud, quick answer.	
“Yasmin.” I heard, spoke by another.  Huh?		
“Xanax.” Was then offered.						

	While these people shouted, I stared, perplexed.	

“Valium, is inside my pocketbook,

People explode on roads; 
People have road rage 
on this road called life."

In churches, where 
black-folk congregate.
Under the protection of...

Espresso and billows of cigarette smoke
start your life each day, to underwrite and
elevate the squeaky neurosis you display.

Anxiety, dear?
But that doesn't exist 
Cowards only run,
Don't be a baby,
Everything is fine, so why

Just shut up
Kids are just moody as teens

Eyes willed open
Pinballing to the bathroom,
Fishing for my wet junk, to uncork yesterday's debacle. 
The 5 liter box, tapped, is one half turn
Away from a brand new day.
Zoloft, somas, oxys and ativans.
Chug-a-lug-a candy chemicals...
Peaceful electric...
