When Have You Ever Dealt With It Anyway? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Hmmm...
Let's see.

What do 'I' recommend,
As a precaution to secure your immediate future?

I would protect what you most value!

'What would that be? '

First I would secure your medications.
You know...
The ones that numb the affects,
Of the things you can not digest.
The ones that keep your delusions protected.
Those that stimulate your pretensions best.
That's what I would do.
If I were you.

'So,
In other words...
Refuse any hints of reality?
Is that what you are saying to me? '

Hints? ? ?

Ignore reality altogether!
You've never expressed to having any use for it before.
When have you ever dealt with it anyway?
