In the middle of life's journey
Top of the class in high school
A deviant hidden inside the body
He collected from people on the street
Their distorted perceptions
Sometimes even morbid dreams
Every time
When he returned from the psychiatric ward
He heard in his ears
The tones of the New World Symphony
Life is not a rosy philosophy
But everyday melancholy
On the opposite side of the Moon State
The conductor took a pause
For his favorite lover
His wife was just going through menopause
At the festive reception
She ate a single cookie
For her mother
Transformed into a forget-me-not
In the middle of a busy street
She received a replacement heart
Unaware why the sun was setting
Yesterday
She still looked naively at the world
Today
She swallowed
A yellow hormonal pill
