I'm tired of omeprazole and all the other cytochrome p450 substrates, inhibitors and inducers

I'm tired of omeprazole,
cimetidine, fluoxetine, 
norfluoxetine (and goddamned grape fruit juice)
tired of all the substrates, inhibitors, and inducers
of some important 
cytochrome P450 isoenzymes
maybe I should know them
maybe I shouldn't
but right now, 
I don't want to
there is enough information
to satiate
the most voracious
obsessive-compulsive 
mental appetite
but it is cold and damp
and I haven't slept well the past 2 nights
I've got a bad tender point between
my right scapula and spine
my mind is hazy 
and I feel sweaty
the black beans are good,
but me,
I am ill at ease
