Taking a tablet

Taking a tablet for misinformation

Morning routine first thing take a tablet
Settles the acid in the stomach of my soul

Later on after a hard workout
Soak in Epsom salts
To heal my wounds

After dinner tension headache is
Two Excedrin do the trick

Soothes tired muscles
After we watch tv and she falls asleep

Pick up my tablet of misinformation
Go down many rabbit holes

Pulling on threads that just unwind
Facts set out like a puzzle

As a thread ends another begins
See some dirt in this rabbit hole

Start digging with my sanity
Come up empty

Find another hole
Backhoe in my backyard

Starting to feel like Dreyfuss
In my living room

Living not so close encounters
In my head

Wife walks in I’m covered in mud
She can’t sign the papers fast enough
