A Plea from the Pharmacology Status Quo: What the Hell?

How about swallowing an
indiscriminant chaw of
diatomaceous pill grit,
Ms. D.?

Yes, it may lacerate your liver
until you implode with
a gallstone
comprised of more daffodil yellow
bile than the insoluble
crimson cocoa
our stool stoppers
left in your
inveterate
colon.

(
which you
will forfeit, by the way, after
struggling to fund
a few hundred
refills of a consecrated
Journal of American Medical Association
henequen cocktail--
But what the Hell?
Our adult diapers
are some of the best
around!
)


What? You refuse to ask your doctor about
our line of crayola-colored pills?
What kind of psychopathic prophesy is this?

Maybe you’re trying to write an
armload of bestsellers about us!

Maybe you’re a Cossack warlord left
over from the Cold War days!

Our academicians can knit a benzoquinone ring
special, just for you!

Would you like to audition for us, bella?

Crosby Stills and Nash playing on the Bose Acoustic Wave radio
A maple Bella Wood floor -- just shining
Cocoa and lemon meringue await down the hall
After the dinner of a lean slice of meat.
(It’s a genuine oriental rug in the hall, and oh! those tasteful candlesticks on the table--

from Bangladesh-- right beside the bestseller.)
What discriminating taste.
A daffodil contraption,
Each element consecrated by the ones who know,
Heard like prophets the ones who judge,
Who decant their glossy wisdom
In the pages of properly named magazines
With properly tepid articles on the joys of knits.

Who is it, transmitting to them alone this batch of inveterate truths?
Is there a dank corner, somewhere in there where you refused the forfeiture of your mind, and rebel the odious repertoire?

Give it a try.
Come on,
go ahead.
Put a bouquet of henequen beside the armchair.
Such courage! You covered your couch in horsehair.
