The Woman Is Off Her Meds


She planted all the pills in her new garden.
She hopes that they will come up daffodils.

The man outside her window stands in lamplight every night.
He whispers that her doctors are no good.

She wishes he would come up for a visit.
Instead, he grows some wings and flies away.

The owl in the tree says she should drive away to freedom,
before her daughter takes away the key.

The woman packs her suitcase full of popcorn.
She wears her best fur coat and sneaks away.

She thinks she's in disguise, but no one wears fur coats in summer.
The police are watching every move she makes.

She hurries to the bridge, climbs on the railing.
They run to her and try to talk her down.

She says that she sees Jesus, and he's smiling.
She takes a step, then everything's ok
