the pill lost all coloring in the rain

the note read, I' gave you almost everything, and the bells kept ringing...you were nothing more than rain drops on my busted windshield"

in response to the letter placed neatly on her armchair she screamed" you knew me no more than the woman at the drive through, cars and trucks and choo choo trains, boats and busses, aeroplanes, army tanks and the draino i drank all mean so much to you!"



suddenly the muffled voices coming from the other side of the wall formed one giant rining tone, and the little girl sat, curiously "peter pan cam to my window in the form of sun shine rays, picked me up and sat me down and warned me of brighter days,...when will there be SPF that reaches 3 digit strong, the prophets dead, thats what the neighbor said, and i've known her never to be wrong."



Her mother was between chores, laundry and cooking a well balanced meal for family, "father will take his at the coffee table, brother will not be home, little sister will take hers at her table in her room beside the noisey wall and i will take my pill, i will i will digest my pill, i will i will not for any thrills, its to keep my head and temper down, blood pressure and cholesterol both drag the ground, whos lipstick stains my husbands collar, whos phone number scribbled on that dollar, the pill will make it all die off, my pill will cure both cramps and coughs, my pill will devour worlds that cry, who will take this pill other than i?"



Ftaher heard the missus singing again, mumbled to himself," theres none other for me, god bless her pill, that forgets about me...liek i forgot about that girl i killed, against my will against my will....god forget that girl i killed, make her nothing more than rain on my busted windshield"
