Kingsley Phase Of My Life Poem by Margaret Alice

Oh wonderful, took the magic pill,
ergotamine can work its spell and
shrink distended arteries in my head
which made me see red, amplifying
sounds until I felt like killing everyone

Today the milk of human kindness is
flowing in my veins, I look upon one
and all with benevolence, such is the
difference wrought by the toxins in the
pill, it even stopped the trilling shrill

Of a thousand cicada’s sounding in my
ears – though I still can’t understand
where to situate the beginning of this
new Kingsley phase of my life, at least
I can survive without insanity killing me….
