The doctor said
I should take the whole course
Or the demons would not fully die
They would only come back stronger.

I took the pills religiously
Just as the doctor told me to.

But it was as though,
The pills were a skin
Under which they multiplied
And grew angrier and more desperate,
Then hatched out in their new form.

So I went back to the doctor
And he gave me some more pills,
So I’m happy,
For now.
