the nearest exit heading south

i don't miss the hangover
days,
those mornings of dry
mouth
and blurred vision, 
the head drumming
with a beat that won't stop. 
losing my phone 
beneath a bed.
my pants somewhere
in this house i've never
been to. which way is the door?
will that dog
bite me on the way out?
i hate to wake her, but
i need to find the nearest
exit to the beltway
heading south.
