is it in the water?

the thing that is

making us

all so sad?

have they taken away our

serotonin?

our dopamine?

our epinephrine?

and damaged our

neurotransmitters?

so that we remain

only familiar

with sadness?

with this soul-eating numbness?

and create 

a nationwide

pandemic

of sad

sad

people?

is it in the water?

this thing that is 

making us

all so sad?
