The homeopath
went on about
the evils of
antimalarial drugs
while slurping a
Gin and tonic --
the drink invented
(as tradition has it)
so India-colonizing Brits
could take their
antimalarial, bitter Quinine tastefully.

Samuel Hahnemann
took Quinine
some time after
he quit practicing medicine
and used its effects
to formulate
his invention:
homeopathy,
and its principal tenet
"like cures like."

Which makes arsenic
the cure for arsenic poisoning,
once it is diluted (or "succussed") in
water
until the
water
no longer contains a
single
atom
of arsenic.

Which makes pure, uncontaminated
(by the time the ill person takes it)
water
the homeopath's cure for everything
and the gin and tonic-swilling homeopath
an idiotic scammer
or, more likely,
dumb enough to
have been scammed herself
into scamming other idiots
since she
holds that Quinine is evil
though it led to the invention of the
bullshit quackery
that pays her bar bills.

Caring Is Creepy.

I knew finally
that she wasn't
attracted to me
after I asked her
if she was and
she said she wasn't.

Still, one night
I insisted we meet
and I kissed her.
Before she got mad
I said
"Thanks. I can't
taste
my dead grandfather's forehead anymore."

Fresh as the paint
Friendship can die young

Life will be the death of you
I'm ready to be heartbroken

--Such a fragile thing
I can't believe

I got myself some bowling shoes
and they're all that I can see

All alone in a room following lines on maps.

Be courageous.

Library cards

Bleaching your teeth, smiling flash
Under my window

Sleep on the floor
Dream about me

--They lost their lives in backyards.

Park that car
Drop that phone

These people drinking lovers' spit
--It's time we grow old.

I like it all
that way:

Library cards
Rented faces

--They lost their lives.

'I Love You'

That you're convinced
I'm lying
makes me wish
I were
being truthful.
