pharmaceutical blues
concocted chemicals wreck havoc
inside transitory brain waves
slowing down destructive forces
or speeding up creative processes
depending upon time of day
though perfectly aware where I’ve been
I certainly don’t know where I’m going
any given day of the week
and the more I read
the more I’m convinced this world
isn’t meant for either you or me
rewinding and replaying scenarios
works just fine in cinematology
but back home far from big screen
there are no body doubles
capable of resurrecting dying roles
october two thousand eighteen
