Measured by medications
The wheel of the pill dispenser
Goes inexorably round
And is filled each week in a ritual
After breakfast and blood pressure testing.
To see that it’s safely down
To the recommended level.
On go my glasses as
The pills all look the same to me
There are so many to marshal
Jumping like fish from the foil packets
Elusive under the furniture.
Now which of them are for breakfast and
Which ones are to go with my tea?
