Who Will Hold Me?

Prozac and Elavil

Zoloft and Desyrel

Endep and Paxil will -



my beautiful pharmaceuticals,



only your dear intervention

deters the indigenous sea

that pounds unrelentingly

upon this chemical beach

where children appear to play

that is in truth

a shallow shore of felicity



which soon I sense

will need new ingredients

to guard against

the tireless tide intent upon consuming it

and my evolving resolve

to not give a shit.
