In Praise Of Vitamins (a public service announcement)

I was feeling pretty old, decrepit, leaky,

weak, not doing very well.

My daughter recommended vitamins.

Now, we know most people don’t take

advice, hardly listen in their smarty pants.

I did, started taking a pill a day that had

things I’d never heard of in it.

I’m starting to feel….normal.

Who knew?

Someone did…they told me…I listened…

that’s all it took.

“A swallowed sun blooms in the guts

reminding the body how it should be.”

This is not advice from a peer.

It’s the universe echoing one’s own 

hidden wisdom.
