Medication

 

Come back little pill

The larger pills come out

maybe one or two at a time

but not seven, not 18

You always roll around and

one or six will manage to

escape as I am trying to

put you back and at least

one of you will fall to the

floor and laugh at me

thinking you have made a

triumphant escape

Truth be known

I don’t even wish to take you

I understand your

wanting to hide
