fighting the power, eating cheese and hoping for another minute with you

Three vitamins...bit and red
and covered in my puke lay
before me undigested
minerals in there too
like copper and iron
nickel and manganese like
manga comicbooks drenched
in backwards thinking
yellow and short stereotypical
imperious fatuous
and sexual deviance.

We dopeslap mutter underbreath, "Thank you,

anti-oxidents, riboflavin, caffeine
and tender greens heartburn scoffing

one-a-day it says
multi-vitamin is says
75 tablets it says.

the stethoscope against my stomach
phone ringing, angels kicking stones
roughage lettuce bran flakes, long walks
along the rocky beach she says,
"Fried Clams!" her hair blows in the seabreeze
cranberry juice all over the place or
blood. Dying slowly so slowly that's me
