"doctor,
after talking to a strange man
i began to get the following symptoms:
anxiety,
depressed mood,
chest pain,
loss of appetite,
obsessive-compulsive thought patterns.
i suffer from a loss of productivity ––"

and at that the doctor stirred.

now i take two a day,
pink and blue —
one to mellow
and the other
so i can say "hello"
when all other words
have flown away on the backs of lovebirds.
