I said to a lady at work
who is
not quite a friend
but more than an acquaintance
that I don’t know why we can’t all just take drugs everyday
in moderation and in managed doses, of course
and she was telling me how when she was sick
and her marriage broke up
her doctor said that he thought anti-depressants should be
in the water
I read an article once that said
when they tested the waste water of various large cities
around the world
there were significant amounts of cocaine and pharmaceuticals
present
and another article, if I recall, talked about the amount of
anti-anxiety medication in the ocean
released from sewerage treatment plants
and the effect it had on the fish
