Take Your Meds

Okay, I admit it. I'm on a Hafiz High for a day or two. Thissun wakes my heart up with a good laugh...

Resist your temptation to lie
By speaking of separation from God,

Otherwise,
We might have to medicate
You.

In the ocean
A lot goes on beneath your eyes.

Listen,
They have clinics there too
For the insane
Who persist in saying things like:

"I am independent from the
Sea,

God is not always around

Gently
Pressing against
My body."
