A junky named Nathan

Nathan relapses 

time elapses 

so he had

gone to rehab

detox, Lexapro, methadone, 

antabuse, opioids, naltrexone, 

seizures, sweating, bursts of rage,

cravings, psychosis, attempt to escape,

police, ambulance, blood-shot eyes,

on the news to my surprise. 

Handcuffs, court date, watch your tone,

detox, Lexapro, methadone.
