26th February 2018

cold snow
settling on willow's bare branches
courting blue tits

tell me
why repeat prescriptions
are no longer allowed.
Who benefits?
"It's to discourage hoarding"
the leaflet says
but what about the cost
to doctor's time?
receptionists?
pharmacists?
What about the people
who forget to order in time
and just run out of medication.
What about the one with heart problems?
diabetes?
blood thinners?
Who takes responsibility
when old people die
for lack of medicines?
Oh yeah.
Teachers.
Let's give teachers guns.
