Non-compliant

Compliance is as compliance does.

When I visit a doctor

For the first time

He or she

Wants to determine

How compliant

I am,

How compliant

I will be.

Will I set my alarm

For 5:30 AM

Take one pill

All on its own

Then

Go back to sleep?

No.

Will my pituitary gland

Behave itself

If I completely

Reorganize my life?

No.

She says the difficulty

May well be mal-absorption

Some people take

Twice as much

As I do.

Maybe they are

Non-compliant,

Maybe they like to sleep

In the morning.
