On Looking Up

My life is a lot less anxious 
these days;

it's either the escitalopram 
that I've relented to taking at last,
or that I've finally given in 

to saluting single magpies
as they streak over,
dipping like phone lines;
or as they perch jitteringly, 
cursing from wintered twigs.

Either way, I whole-heartedly
recommend both.

Taken concurrently though, 
there are a few side-effects
worth noting; most of which
I'd been legally warned about.

Thus far, I've found the loss
of libido most alarming.
