Here is an ode

To these dear small objects.

Oh how you lighten my load!

I love your dear, white, round concepts.

To that dear tiny, pale oval,

Split in half with a thin line,

But let me make you a proposal:

You let me keep my sanity ‘cause it’s MINE!

To that dear little shape!

You are my favourite best friend,

You give me some escape,

And I will loathe you to the very end.

To that dear monsterous creature,

My constant companion,

Tell all my friends, “you can’t reach her.”

But it’s you who I want to abandon.

To this pretty pale disaster,

How lovely you are

As a friend, as a enemy, but you aren’t my master,

My mind and body, I can’t allow you to mar.

So as much as I love you,

I’m afraid this is goodbye.

Yet I know you are an addict too,

So I’m sure this it not goodbye,

But only farewell.
