Prozac

Prozac
(Fluoxetine)
you cute little pill
Such magic found
in one quick swallow
Is that me
within your tight little capsule?
Enthusiasm
Energy
Oh my god...
Desire
Is that you?
So where the hell have you been?
Gone so long
Locked away somewhere in the dark
Maybe just lost
Inside of me
or else where?
Prozac
you fucking little pill
Is this the real me?
Or could this be
something fake
an illusion
Tell me
What is it then?
Maybe you just feed the lies
that are within me already
But wait a minute...
Could it be
that you are really here to help me?
Such a concept is hard to swallow...

Tortoise

(My Absolute fave poem)By Eden Lepucki

When I was younger, I was
In this stranger's backyard looking
For my blessed handball that
Had somehow flown over.
It was a peculiar place, with
Many windchimes and animals
Walking about.
The ball wasn't to be found, so I
I stepped on a rock in order to see over
The fence to my yard, then I
Realized the rock wasn't a rock.
It was a live tortoise, and I
Hadn't even notice. And although
At the time I had laughed, the
Tortoise was probably crouched in his
Shell, scared to death. And now, I am this tortoise
And you are standing on me, to look at something,
Someone else...and you don't even notice that I am
Hiding deep inside, crying.
