Delusion-sized


On the occasion
of multiple surgical
wisdom-too extraction
one received a drug
the name of which one fails
to recall.
One’s only recollection is
that at some point one looked
at one’s hand
and was unable to determine
if it was quite near
or very far away but
enormously large.
One supposes now that
wisdom of a sort had leaked out
unstoppered by the teeth
and had not yet returned.
Perhaps under such influence
one might purchase for example
a suspension bridge under
the impression it would fit
in one’s pocket.

The little gray cells polarized with the information:  drug in question was demerol.
