I hope to post a new poem on my site every week. Having a schedule should help keep me on track.
Incompetent Necessities
Dear Doctor,
You lose my lab order
Give no refill though I ask
Five times over
Then say I should avoid stress
That it’s bad for my health
Dear Pharmacy,
You maim my insurance
And short my medication
Half a month at double charge
Then say I look tired
That I need more rest
My relationship
With you both
Is exhausting
It’s toxic
But I’ll die if I walk away
