Six Pills Plus One: 4. Muscle Relaxers

They come in liquid form
bitter by the dozen
$2.44 for Mad Dog, Boone’s Farm.
Braved the worst of frozen
winters just to get a different
kind of numb, impervious to pains
from failed attempts at romance, absent
of any assisted relief. Sustained
drunkenness at three dollars for three hours
three times over. Magic number
cubed. Wolf waiting to devour
Little Red, but intoxication is cumbersome
When you’re the last one standing as that urinal trough.
Time to retreat back to the cave. Sleep this one off.
