Gone

I have a tendency to drop
My pills upon the ground;
No matter how I look for them,
They’re nowhere to be found.
“I’m sure they fell somewhere ’round here,”
I say and search with hope,
But somehow they just disappear
Beyond my puzzled scope.
They’re likely with my unpaired socks,
Where all the lost have gone,
Into a greedy void of space
Where all the dropped are drawn.

    The other night one of my pills shot off and landed in the dustbin, in a mound of uneaten cat food. I had little choice but to wipe it down with a tea towel and eat it. Most unpleasant.

      I think you got lucky. It could have been much worse.
