“Coping Doping”

How hard it is sometimes to strive
And not be fallen prey to coping!
You screamed at noon. But now, at five,
It’s time to reach for some more doping.
Let yet unmarried couples’ hive
Be buzzed with prospects of eloping –
You keep, my love, us both alive,
And I, my love, keep us both hoping.

by Danil Rudoy – April 2013
