The We


by Peter Erich


You gotta see 
this new drug
delivered thru a 
procedurally exacting pill 

Sugar coated yet
completely foul tasting
Drought drowning and 
will make you blowfish-cheeked
It creates coincidences with 
bafflement and symmetry 
Meaningfully uncertain story arcs 
but conclusion-minded

If you raise a question
you do not have to answer it
If you think about the police
there is no proof of solubility
If it passes through
it will makes for a story
because like every person's stomach is 
it will be a messed pillow of gut linings
slowly disintegrating into 
colorful blood structures
that reenter the iris

The story ends when we get there and 
I say We collectively.
