And now and then eager lips
Give way to trips
But then again a composed mind
Tries to bind....

Cold Turkey
Trumpets blared from orifices hidden
Awaiting his doom, the prince was bidden
To enter the dark hole of all things unknown
Suppressing a shriek, he unplugged his phone...

Things That Give Me Hope
Unlikely Friendships,
Golden wedding Anniversaries,
Cold Turkey success stories,
Doctors who don't pull the plug,
Guns that misfire,
What some give up, to help others,
Sunshine on my shoulders,
Great Poetry....

It S Not Rocket Science
Cup of Joe
Cut to the chase
Between a rock
And a hard place
Back to square one
Piece of cake
Dime a dozen
Truth is stranger than fiction
Cold turkey
Down and out
Down for the count
Down to Earth
Drawing a blank
Easy as pie
Eat my hat
Go for broke
Truth is stranger than fiction
Hands down
Happy as a clam
Hard pill to swallow
High and dry
Head over heels
Toe to toe
Truth is stranger than fiction....

Cold Turkey
When you quit smoking, you always go cold turkey and you become very mean.
Every time you try to quit, you turn into a monster when you go without nicotine.
The last time you quit, you threw the microwave and hit me in the head.
I was out for days, the doctor thought that I was dead.
You washed my clothes in gasoline and when I put the on, you lit a match.
You become a bitch when you quit cold turkey, use a damn nicotine patch!
(This is a fictional poem)...

Giving Up Hope
It’s not really there
So I’ve decided I’m
Giving up hope
Cold turkey
All it does is yield disappointment
An unwelcome house guest
Something is always wrong
There is always something to hope for
And hope- it serves up so much at one time
It gies you dreams all full of holes
Hopes are like empty promises
Mirages and artificial energy
It’s not really there
It’s not lasting
And it’s not worth having
But we all want it anyway
It’s the ultimate high
The sublime, irrational escape....

I do not know?
Benadryl Is the Only One I Know
Take two and a half peach, one blue round three elongated white.
My eyes are blurry; I cannot see any longer. My right hand is asleep.
Now my left hand is asleep.
I climb back into bed
Wait. This is only part of the morning dose?
The only one I know for sure is Benadryl.
It is bright pink.
Taking pills upon pills.
I smell medicine when I take a whiff of myself.
Fitfully wondering ….would I be well if I stopped
taking all of this stuff cold turkey?
Dare I?
I believe I do....
