Relapse

I keep a tally on my bedroom mirror -
hash marks in increments of five,
beneath the header: Days without Drugs.
Last week there were 128 tallies,
Today, there were two.

It's easy to fall off the bandwagon
when the ride is treacherous;
even easier to jump off the bandwagon
when the ride is no fun.

I just want it to be fun again.
