it'll get different
at work i wonder
if i should take anti-depressant medicine
finally, i decide, no, i shouldn't
later, i am feeling really depressed
do it, i say, take anti-depressant medicine
still later, i feel better
anti-depressant medicine, i say, ha, ha
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
an hour later, i catch myself thinking extremely hard
about a bright green apple being where my heart should be
