one pill makes you larger
and one pill makes you small
and the ones from over-the-counter

the yellow one slows your metabolism, the brown one dilates vessels, the white one made from tree bark kills inflammation while the big round one lowers pH. The white one stops pain, and oh sets you flying, the skinny one creates food for 2 hours later and REM for 8 hours later. The oval expands arteries. The large white one, the closest thing to Quaalude. Best taken with a shot of whiskey
