#tylenol - Hello Poetry

You think you know because you read something on the internet And your wife’s best friend’s cousin knows someone with it So you have all the answers and cannot be wrong Dave down the pub reckons it is all a scam and really they are just a bit thick And he knows because he is Dave and Dave knows **** especially when seven pints in (God he is ******* funny; what a legend) We are the problem with the world The world that is only for the entrepreneur Not the ones who see through the smokescreen Wanting to give love to everyone, using intimidating genders and pronouns, instead of glorifying the economies of scale But they are the snake oil salespeople So go back to your cave of gossip and rumours; evolution has stalled for you Genuflecting at the feet of those paid influencers who tell you how to live your life with fictitious remedies of being Leaving us to mop up your mess Too ******* stupid, too ******* greedy to save the earth Too ******* stupid, too ******* greedy to end poverty Too ******* stupid, too ******* greedy to accept Too ******* Stupid You Greedy ****

father awakened beckoned by bathroom in night his death approaching like headlights in rear-view in cars he careened into cornfields so long ago in women he obsessed over poured over while rolling tea in records he flips through languidly suffering alone, retracting into song crucifix still hung over his jaded bedpost lotion still sits on by his bed where he lay debased and tempted by nothing while his house breaths fissures and crumbles where his legacy sits truncated and dusted in books of song carpet collecting impressionistic stains stove top counting days with soot medicine cabinet reminds of his frivolous youth when he was foolish and paid bills before he was afraid to climb his creaking stairs before he delivered flowers to the funeral home before the acetaminophen ate his soul

Bright kid Straight A's Always quiet as a mouse But nowadays it seems she can barely even leave her house Can't breathe Can't speak Can't even walk down the street without help The doctors don't know what her body is doing to itself "Go there Take that Pull her from this, this, and that" Late nights No sleep Is barely able to eat There's something wrong They know it's true "The symptoms just aren't there," they say, "Where's the proof?" Work piling up Quizzes missed How is she expected to finish all of this? "Coughing? Wheezing?" "All of the above Not to mention a killer headache and a bit of a stomach bug" "There's no temperature yet, So all we can do Is give her some Tylenol with Codeine And see if it's just the flu" Bright kid Hardly an A in sight Always quiet as a mouse Except for at night
