in the morning:
i buy cigarettes.
i buy orange juice.

someone told me
that orange juice
will take off the edge,
in the same way
that alcohol will
calm nerves,
provide confidence.

the facts state
that vitamin c's
acidity will cause
adderall to
wear off faster,

maybe
that's why I'm
still doing it.

my stomach is twisting
and my heart beat is
erratic.

every morning
I'm buying cigarettes
and orange juice.
