Magic Beans

A trip to the drug store

Magic Beans

The drug store giant is a cynical reminder of the absurd lengths   to which we go towards  the  elimination of  pain. In the midst of the most minor  uneasiness, we cleave to stupefying concoctions , striving to become intoxicated imbeciles numb as nails ,steeped and sedated in the bliss of  a universal fe, fi ,fo, fom delusion of comfort. Aspirin to opiates ,the pharmaceutical pirates give no quarter, take no prisoners. I had to ask the pretty young  woman behind the counter where the Preparation H is  and now she knows me only as  a genuine pain in the a*s.
