exacting pressure
parchment paper
rosin escapes
and pools
puddled tricombs
and medical molecules
lay like orange juice
fresh-squeezed
waiting restlessly
to be placed en masse
onto the awaiting enail
vaporization and inhalation
taste buds savor flavors
and the effects take hold
melting into the couch cushions
and considering the work day
I pull together another glob
and press it to the heated coil
breathing deep
my medicine of choice –
