mother's little helpers

take one of these
my friend says, take one,
as she jiggles a little
white pill into the palm
of my hand.
you'll feel calm
and relaxed you'll be able
to do all the things
you hate doing without 
too much angst.
spending time with
strangers, no problem.
you'll be able to visit
those you don't like and make
small talk. you'll be
pleasant and kind.
you'll be one of us then, 
happy as lark, smiling
blissfully with your new
numb mind.
