XANAX FOR EVERYONE!

wake up at 3am, but do not eat or drink
a little groggy, biorhythms thrown out of sync
wear something comfortable
beyond the automatic doors and the plastic plants
I fill out the forms ‘cause there might be a chance
that I won’t wake up
there’s an elderly man here to help us out
he calls off the names when it’s time to go
he feels better
wait and wait and wait and “Are you comfortable yet?”
the fire alarms sound, but it’s only a test
‘cause in this place they’re always prepared for an emergency

“Good morning, please check in . . . “
and my head filled with a brain shock
hands flew off of my internal clock
and that don’t rock my socks like Ray Davies

sitting, waiting, reading through the White Rat’s book
patients now are filing in and crowding quick
but no one I know
directed to a room and given slippers and a gown
the smell of stale urine is all around
as I listen to her instructions sung in perfect monotone

Ahhhh, I feel the prick of a pin
Ahhhh, this is a hell of a way to be tucked

could it really be that I’m detaching with anxiety
or just assimilating to a paranoid society
just wanna be a normal guy
apathetic if I live or if I die
well, no I guess it wasn’t a good morning in the hospital
I got to anesthesia, but then went vaso vagal
in a wormhole of sights & sounds
I suffocated in a flood that was completely informational
