Ouch. Forgot I committed this:
TERPIN HYDRATE
This is a nasty admission (for I am
52 years old, and in the face that
stares at me each morning, graying,
signs of what will be now creep across my skin)
but I admit that to this day and night
I miss my drugging days of long ago:
not the fictional constructs of Time Remembered,
or Days Gone By, but the thing itself:
a scuzzy drugstore on Ogden Avenue,
a two-buck bottle of terpin hydrate and codeine,
me signing the Controlled Substance Register
as D. Duck or with my dead father's name,
then going home to chug half the bottle,
mumble Oh true apothecary! thy drugs are quick!
and sit chainsmoking Pall Malls, listening
to Gordon Lightfoot or Jussi Bjoerling,
neither wondering nor caring that one day
I would miss the fact that I used not to care
about the difference between what I am
and what I am.
