it's a brutal pill to swallow
chalky and white
like one of those massive
vitamins they swear
will fix all your problemsit's got a label but
I can't really
make out the letters
the words have faded,
the bottle passed
from person to personthey taste sweet,
almost like a placebo pill, perhaps
this pill has no purpose, perhaps
this prescription can fix all, if taken
with enough faith
