Under The Influence

The can popped; for starters,
until the pill hit like a sledge hammer
starting simple at first, then dragging it all
below the surface like orders.

Then her name echoes
off the walls filled with the rain
of a million tears; drowning the thoughts
into tomorrow's glass of mellow,

always waiting with a smile,
giving hope that tomorrow
it will be possible
to go, just a few more miles.
