CONFESSIONS OF A DRUG ADDICT

I'm 70. 
I get 60 milligrams 
of Xanax each month 
via my insurance. 
The prescription costs $2. 
The doctor told me 
I might become addicted. 
I told him that at my age 
I could give a shit. 
I live in the here and now 
and one milligram daily 
makes the moment peaceful.
