Pusher

The good listener’s 45 minute hour

and pharmacy tool box.

My therapist gives me the same pills he gives himself.

Empty pen inks its last prescription.

The joystick that steers my needle

towards more than normal.

Add to my medicine collections and

remote control robot fuck all.

Easy swallow

less stress

colorless.

Pastel my neon impulse

bridle my flinch to quit and think out loud.

Throwback fist fulls.

Take more pills to fix all the things these pills are already doing to me.

Knowing all along, most problems are solved by drinking more water.
