Sunshine Pills

Sunshine in a black pill
My friend tells me he’s been prescribed
“sunshine”
And I’m not surprised
Realism turns to
pessimism turns to
“black hole”
In the middle of his soul
6 months of knowing him
And all I really know
Is everything in his life is pulled into
2 categories:
Things that make him angry
and
Things he really really hates
But it’s not unusual in Ohio to be
Prescribed “the D”
Because everyone here
Hates pretty much everything and everyone
Including the sun when it’s out and when it’s not
We get easily bored
