18 April

Little things
2000

I cherish my bottle
of Ibuprofen
manufactured at
the Khimfarm Kombinat
in Staraya Kupavna.
It's dark brown, real glass,
the label recommends
"Keep tightly closed
in a cool dry place"
in Russian, and I can
read it! The cap doesn't
have any childproof features,
another way of saying
I can open it! When I do so,
I find no safety seal,
only a hundred sugar-coated
rosy pills and a wad of fluffy
white cotton I have been assured
is pure.

PS I'll bring you some.
