Poetry: Too and To

Too and To

Too sick tonight

  Too sick to fight

Too sick to be right

  Too sick to make it to midnight.

Too many broken dreams

  Too many failed schemes

Too many unheard screams

  Too many of life’s extremes.

Too is abundance, to is towards

  Too is my circumference, to is like new cords

Too is heavy, to is free flight.

Too will be laid down, to heaven I’ll go tonight.

Poetry: Pills

Pills

Pills

Round solutions

To all that ills

Pills, pills, pills

Pills

Hard solutions

For the over the hill

Pills, pills, pills

Pills

Scientific solutions

Can they save or will they kill

Pills, pills, pills
