Wow I can really relate to this poem..i'm schizo affective and have to take the crap samples not being able to afford the good stuff..I feel for you..wishing it gets better for you..Crim
yeah, no exotic suffering... just the same fucking suffering as the rest of the world

The flow is perfect, spot on. It is impossible to read without following the spurt of the protagonist. Nice and necessary.

There's blue sky
at the end of every storm, kid.
A sparkle in the eye
when all the tears have dried
and however much it rains
you can always find
a bigger puddle to jump in
where the shit sticks
for longer than it ever did before--
good job you have frogs legs.

The system is screwed up. I find your write to be exactly correct as to the way this country is run. People need there meds for whatever reason to be able to hold or even get a job. It is a mess. Love the last line "GET IN THE FUCKING LINE"
That line is huge and getting bigger!!!! Hope things change for you and anyone else affected by this same situation. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, sir! Oh, sorry, I just assumed I was supposed to do everything your words tell me too. Quite like watching a pot boil, it doesn't, and then when you made me turn around, it overflowed. Erratic totality, same ol' Big Daddy Ray. :D

The LINE.
I like it.
Unemployment line,
and/or meds line @ the state hospital.
Poetic line
(sometimes can't get into it- talking about writing,)
sometimes wont get into it (reading).
Voices guiding me:
"YOU"
"GET OVER HERE"
"GET IN THE FUCKING LINE" !
