What pill?
when the will is as strong
as the day is long,

nothing endures as long
as long lasting cures.

they would say that
wouldn't they?

pharmacology
is after all
just another ology.
Just sneezing
and wheezing
and easing into
old age

*******
I should be enraged
but
I'm quite comfortable
and
getting comfortable
in
my easy chair.

Is it fair?
do fish fornicate?
are buses often late?
do I fukin care?
Headache
earache
maybe some
beer intake
will cure me

She says as She often does
when push comes to shove
don't be standing on the edge
of a cliff.

I am so lucky to have such
an advisor
and
She's just given me a ticket
to visit
Beachy Head.
That myoclonic ****
is somewhat of a perk
when your body's on
the way
to wherever bodies go.

I know that some
will google now
and wonder how
they never knew that
the
myoclonic was a part
of you

Who's a **** now?
Nobody told us
that we'd grow
into
the old us.

It's ****
but
I'm absolutely down
with it

wouldn't want to be
young again
and
have to go to
school again.

Still
they could have
let us
know.
The road ahead
dead
'cept
for the shadows that race across the face of the man that wanders alone, and the sun barely risen, it could be an interesting day, could be enjoyable in so many ways.

The road ahead,

I am led here blind
seeing nothing
feeling nothing
hoping for everything
grateful for anything,

some thing or something touches me
and I shiver
yet still warm from the sun,

'son of a gun'
I'm only dreaming.
There's a dog barking
or it could be a dog fox
I don't care
I can't find my socks

morning dark and
it's too early for a stroll
in the park
so
here I am
the barefoot man,
the barking goes on.

Breakfast would have been curds and whey
but I bought fresh milk on the way home yesterday
so
It'll be corn flakes,
sugar is optional
which I find to be unusual
but what do I know?

work then at noon until ten
I think that
they're taking the proverbial,
short of staff or Falstaff?
either way
I'm not laughing.

however there is
lots to be thankful for
like
bars on the windows
heavy-duty bolts on the door
sometimes
I wonder what the police force
is for

the inner voice says,
to keep the doughnuts
safe.
