Schism

you say it
like it's nothing
two poles
like fishing in a hole
for a label

pushing all
your pills
down my throat
as though all the ills
will just
instantly go away

calm. calm. logical. logical.
you are all so
damned methodical
when it comes to
your science
you misinterpret my silence
for acquiescence


you say it
like it's nothing
you say it
like it's nothing
when. you.
all know that it's something.
you still say it
like it's nothing.
