“NDV”
Dudley takes colloidal silver
liquid metal to chase out parasites
and swallows herbs
to settle the nausea
wormwood cloves black walnut
to stop the constipation and the shitting.
Ten weeks on Crixivan
no beepers, three pills with grapefruit juice
and he's hit NDV
No Detectable Virus.
For how long? Who can say
but he lives to tote his guitar
and coach an actress named Heather
and talk on the phone to a man
who stroked his bald head on a street corner
instead of inviting him home.
