the little white pills

she takes a pill to wake up,
to counter
the ones she took
to fall asleep,
then there's other pills too.
all neatly aligned
in the medicine cabinet.
prescribed and dated.
one for this,
another for that.
things you don't want to know
about.
it's an all day thing,
rattling
the brown bottle,
unsnapping
the child proof cap,
swallowing,
drinking water
to wash them down.
