#31-Pills


It's 10 PM
here we go again
It's the same thing
every single night

I grab a glass of water
and start in...

A big orange one,
to keep me healthy
Specially for women
has the right amount of folic acid,
just in case.

A small oval white one,
to fight microscopic invaders
from attacking my airways.

A nice pinkish circle,
to manipulate my heart and
vessels into the right pressure.

Another circle, white this time.
I only take this one for 14 days a month.
It fights to tame my rebellious womb,
but it mostly fails.

Pharmaceutical particles
drifting through my system...
trying to regulate
what mother nature can't do on her own.
