table
waiting for the doctor
to arrive
i notice
behind the locked glass
cabinet
bottles of pills, all marked
with labels
and ready
to go.
one says happy pills,
the other
says, crazy pills, another
says,
fat pills, fear pills,
and on and on.
skinny pills, depressed pills,
lonely pills,
blurred vision pills,
upset stomach pills,
confused pills.
and then there's a large
bottle that reads,
everything pills.
give me one of those
i tell the doctor when he
comes in with his
stethoscope.
