Overdose

Overdose

A Poem by demureminds

[See side panel for complete instructions. 

Warning: Do not take more than directed. 

Not for Children.]


Two a day,

sugar-coated lies,

gulped down and through

esophagi,

slick water-slide 

of swollen regrets.


One a day,

bitter pride,

slipping into bubbly

stomach acid,

rip current,

swishing back and forth,

back and forth,

until it

dissipates.


Two every four hours,

salty capsuled tears,

slithering, burning

tongues of despair,

plagued with vigorous calamity.


As often as needed,

corrosive lethal liquid,

a viscous ebb and flow,

consume at your own risk.
