self medication

live long
enough and you'll know what
to eat or
drink,
and when to stop.
you'll know what your
body
can tolerate,
put some years
under your belt and you'll
know 
that if you take in
too much,
you'll know
which shelf holds 
the antidote,
the bottle, or pill
to bring you back around
once more.
with a bag of ice
on your brow,
you'll be fine by tomorrow.
