toxic tylenol
don’t guzzle by the mouthful
or you might find yourself
elsewhere
there’s a damp towel on the rack
toothpaste oozing into the sink
and the mirror shows reflections
not redemptions
we’ve got bandages for
bad things
hair dye
in case you need to skip town
pink pills
purple pills
and power
essential oils on the top shelf
for when you’re feeling groovy
and the bath water boils
emil nolde
and the dancing lady
go bananas in the background
