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.
