Opportunity Cost
February 14, 2014
I save the bitter pills they dole me
in a rosewood box inlaid
with silver roses, pinky leaves-
although it seems like sacrilege.
Hoping that rosewood's fragrance sweet
would seep through all the pills
and overpower the bitterness
swallowing one makes me feel.
But later on, will I rejoice?
In giving up my box of gold
which should have held delightful things
for tablets hard and cold.
