Came off the
rollercoaster ride,
Mr Meloncholy
by my side and
let it slide,
plateaued,
we rode the
moving platform
for a while.
Doc said...
"What's up?"
"I'm down"
I cried. then
he (illegibly)
prescribed a
newer, bluer,
chill pill. 75ml
Now I'm back
on the move
finding my groove,
stuck out my thumb
& hitch hiked,
"cause I like
moving up to
the next level
of numb

An excellent social comment on pez-dispensing—I mean the "alleged" over-proscribing of meds to supposedly cure our blues. Some smooth, wicked rhymes and plays on conceptual opposites.
..a newer bluer chill pill.. wicked flow and good internal rhymes in this elaine...this grooves for sure and i guess it's not the blue pills...smiles
yikes...medicated existence is not much of one...nice flow elaine
oh, wow, Elaine.. Great one - the numb of being medicated moving to the next level - I like your rhymes interwoven in here as well.
Sadly this is all too true. I had a friend who kept leveling up. A sad waste of a life!
I like the jazzy, jaggedy rhythm of this one Elaine. "Next level of numb" is a great description!
This even looks like an escalator, and the language is just as smooth. Great sense of movement and controlled out of control, as it were.
Oh I like this. I agree with Lolamouse!
