Beet Red, A True Story

They sent me home
From nursing school
Today
For being late

That's fair
Then
They had me drug tested

Said it was
Out of character
For me to be
So foolish

That's supposedly
An honor
They just "had to cover the bases"

For my $79.90
I peed beets
Because that's
What I had for dinner last night
Instead of crack rock salad
And liquor

Red stinking urine
I'm sure
That made them leery

That's really
Going to help
-That you're clear
She said
And I want you to
Get counseling

Monday morning
I'll be psychologically
Assessed by a community college
