stricter look to business
than I cared to get
likings for prescriptions
that I carefully get

snow stormed into rehab
spent our christmas eve,
MD went out and went back
and's still out it seems

we wrote our initials just above the sink,
cheek daily prescriptions or they'll make you sick,
giving them to Elliott
and watching his back
crushed up his suboxon
and I'm watching his back
looking like a vacuum with a skull for a base,
passed almost as human with a sunken face,
J and MD twelve sixteen

booked a flight for florida
just after the fight
broke my tray in order
just to last through the night

what really happened in the dining hall
I remember snapping
and hoping you saw--
proved to you,
proved to him,
just after the fight
