the pill box

some are always ill.
genetics,
environment,
disposition, bad luck,
perhaps,

but always
with the pills,
the heating pad,
the ice
applied to wherever
pain occurs.

some are always ill.
they like it that way.
gives them reason
in how they go about
their day.

you see them twenty
years later,
and they tell you,
oh that cleared
up,
but now
i have this. i'm seeing
my doctor later
on today.
