love
is a tool to sell
more chocolate
it is a scam
invented by
the pharmaceutical
conglomerates
to sell more
antidepressants
it is an ideal
insipid poets
try to
marginalize
actualize
desensitize
in the pathetic
whimsy
of capturing chemicals
in static refrain

love
is a drug
and i am standing in line
waiting
for a hit of
synthetic substitute
because the real thing
is out of my
range.
