Placebo

"pill"
swallow one a day.
what do you see in the picture?

I see colors.
see, colors
change.

Side effects?
some fatigue, a cold tremble.
The weatherman predicts snow.
it must be chilling.

The moon looks marvelous,
now that you can see it.
Read this line, said the optometrist
you have an astigmatism.

Your cells are expanding,
if you feel hungry then its working.
America has the largest appetite, said the globe.

Take two a day if you feel:
more tired than usual
loss of sexual drive
an inability to be on time
a twitch in your limbs at least once a day
a desire for change
a desire for lack of change
a tendency to enjoy the dark
a curiosity for other peoples business
an intrigue for death
a wonder for how commonplace items are created
an urge for competition
a want to use taboo word choices
fascination in reality tv
disgust in reality tv
a desire for 3pm bedtime, at least once a month
a obligation to wear make up
a distaste for politics


I don't feel any of those.
then sadly you are dead,
so don't take two pills a day instead.
