write down that number

you see things
on tv that never interested
you before,
but now
you take notes
on the swinging bathtub
door,
the cream to relieve
crepe skin.
a machine to ease your breathing
when you snore.
a little blue pill
to keep you amorous.
there is a place
where they will take care of
you in
florida, it's near the water,
a nice
round pond,
with a walking path
and flamingos.
there are ramps
everywhere
and
everyone who works is dressed
in white clothes
and are smiling.
