While my parents were sleeping
the invasion began… first
they administered a vaccine
against innocence
and common sense. Next
I was sent to school
for readjustment. No more praying
or pledges of allegiance to God
or nation, no more
seperation
of truth from fiction. Next,
I was prescribed prescriptions
of Prozac and Ritalin
to curb my enthusiasm
and appetite for living.
They gave me a job
doing handout pamphlets
and fielding calls
for planned parenthood.
I was encouraged
to be sexually active
and given contraceptives.
Then one night
while my parents were sleeping
my psychiatrist fucked me.
