hospital
one hundred milligrams
of Thorazine. running away with
your imagination, sense of self.
bolts seize you, turn you dizzy, little
pills, i’m asking you to drink & swallow
please show me they’re gone –
i’ll let you go, slip
into it, you’ll never come
out, white cups, containers of
orange juice, drink up
the pills. i know you’re
thirsty, & slow & tired.
even though you slept
sixteen hours, thorazine,
one hundred milligrams.
