Sanity

Espresso and billows of cigarette smoke start your life each day, to underwrite and elevate the squeaky neurosis you display. Freud and Prozac and Xanax keep you level but flat, add 60 milligrams of amphetamines to get your motivation back. Some say its “creative style” while others say “you’re very ill” as civilized, certified doctors proclaim: “swallow every pill!” No more “Carpe Diem” nor “beckoning to swim out further,” celebrate you right to cope, with therapeutic fervor. Your fading friends alas, contend: “your brain is now asleep!” Just tweak your dose and animated you will arise and leap! Skies ginger with days ablaze cobalt space, your ability to marvel struggles in a foggy and muddled place. Synapses firing, “Control!” my mind has ordered Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors…dreams Carl Jung has ordered. Dopamine, Zoloft or Ambien, competition to attend, the imagined dangers that never really end.
