Anodyne Poem by Patti Masterman
Anodyne
Money the anodyne of the old,
Sex the anodyne of the young,
Before and after, diapers; mold
And bare belief, to which we clung.
Words are money, to the writer,
Ideas the coin, which pays the way,
And ticking clocks, to guide the fighter;
Leave the losers where they lay.

An anodyne has many uses (as well as a far number of abuses) But by distracting rather than providing a cure It encourages use, more rather than fewer. s
