Lorazepam

A blanket of silent fluffy fog
Liquid-smooth muscles at rest
Dreamy with drifty thoughts
Tea-kettle steam pre hiss
No worries, no woes 
No wrinkly, scrinkly nose
Lemon and honey tea
Not sleeping; not waking;
Nowhere to go; nothing to do
Float through a limp lazy day 
June gentle breeze
Swaying lovely willow trees 
Like silky warm skin 
Sleeping on a sandy beach 
Cows graze in the field 
Creeks meander along slow 
(Meander is a funny word.) 
Lovers in naked embrace 
Smooth jazz in the evening 
Song sparrows sing in the sun 
After Thanksgiving-dinner nap 
Ice cream and mint tea 
Foot massage and back rubs 
Sleep in on Sunday till ten
Mountain meadow’s crystal stream.

If it ends in p-a-m 
It’s the good stuff.
