Was it the pill?





















The day changed, although it started out bad –
A day that began with utter loneliness
Was it the pill that stopped me feeling sad?

It improved when I turned on my iPad
Offering communion, the light’s ingress
The day changed, although it started out bad

Making me ask whether I was mad
By degrees it became something wondrous
Was it the pill that stopped me feeling sad

The sight of open water or, I could add
The smile that I received on the bus?
The day changed. Although it started out bad

In a total reversal, it became good
From quietness we can derive happiness
Was it the pill that stopped me feeling sad?

I cannot know but anyway I am glad
That sometimes the sun does not merely wake us
The day changed, although it started out bad
Was it the pill that stopped me feeling sad?
