I take no poison
I take no poison
[shown by leaps
& bounds across
sudden ditches]
& you’ll see me –
flung with limbs
slung wide [as if
nearly flying up]
but it is balance
I am after – Now
I take no poison
with my waking
since clearing a
loose cabinet of
dangerous stuff
[of poisonous &
suspect drugs] –
an addiction for
all to see at that
time [in my life]
with old shouts
set in wax in my
ears – but now I
hear no ferities
about each pill –
my prescription
reads Nil – I now
take no poisons
