Take a pill


happenstance happened quietly
nobody yelled or beat their chest
no drama really
it was as easy as the dull rest
like an over-the-counter-morning-after pill
for minor catastrophes
just as things went downhill
up went the fees

no one cared though, it was mesmerizing
so much chaos so superbly orchestrated
a caprioling murmuration of starlings
in the vespertine dusk 'fore the endless night

we let it happen because –
no point trying really since –
something without no real cause
no real consequences

would we remember it years from now
would we remember the when and the how
best be buried with the whole shebang
lest it start growing a sharp set of fangs
