To do: take pills
retrieve the pill bottles from a backpack zipped tight. my family can't know can't see
without excess noise, zzz-rip i must unzip, without click-click-click-click remove three pills
the softest pop of a packet for a fourth
under a blanket the containers go. quickly, in sets of two-
toss into mouth, swig of water - swallow
peel back blanket. gently avoid the click-click-click of pills in a bottle
set containers quickly, quietly away in backpack
zip.
