Chill Pill
I sometimes
During my repose
Awaken with a cough
And a tickle up my nose
And wonder
At what ails me
Yet awaken later
The next morn
Not at the crack
Of an early morning dawn!
And feel fine
And realise
That it was probably
No more
Than a spider
Crawling down my throat
My sleeping open mouth
Swallowing it
Webs, and all
Retrospectively
I think
I would
Rather be ill
Than swallow
This spider
Chill pill
Glad it's mostly a myth!
eek!

can relate to that, would prefer neither, but heart meds have served me well. apparently, spiders are quite nice to eat, once cooked! it's all over the web :) x

I take so many pills each day for so many years and for so many different reasons... At least now my ocd is in check for the first time in my life and its amazing not waking up with intrusive thoughts :)
