One little pill

Chemicals tickle tackle down my veins

Slowly but surely changing me from within

This one tiny pill implausibly contains

Enough itty-bitty bites of energy to slow down my spin

Jittery. Juttery. I can’t sit still

Thoughts are jumping through my mind

My fingers seem to have their own free will

Plicking. Plucking on anything they can find.

A few minutes later I shoot through Normal

Directly down to Really Slow.

This little pill for the Abnormal

Sets my mind in a turbulent flow.

Hoping for my thoughts to brighten

Patiently waiting for this medicine to take effect

I undergo its quirks although they frighten

Scared I wait for my mind to recollect.

For now I will withstand

The urge to throw these little bombs in the bin

But I am not sure how long I can stand

This fidgeting fudgeting from within.
