Give me the pills she said \u2013 promise
\nwhen I want to you\u2019ll help me take them all.
\nI don\u2019t want to shit in my chair, feel worthless,
\nI want to choose with whom, how and when I fall.<\/p>\n
Give me the drugs he said, I\u2019ll take any chance
\nwith science – if my skin drops off, my legs fail
\nand I lose all laughter. I might capture another
\nshred of life, a day when a cure is discovered.<\/p>\n
She was 42, and he 83. And you?
\nNot ready to dispense magic potions of polar kinds,
\nnot yet believing in lottery tickets, treasure finds
\nlucky charms and all newspaper headlines?<\/p>\n
