Ode to a Pain Pill

small and unassuming
in your red and white plastic
clean and refined
your attack
not too drastic

as the pain screams
in falsetto
my head swells
in a happy crescendo
and I smile...still cautious
careful and possibly nauseous

but the ride is my guide
and I'm pleasant
to passerbys
with a nod to true talent
your fight most valiant

to my new friend
my pardon
my smooth talking
oxycodone
