Nice. And nice gloss on the poem as well. The obvious also should be said: the commonly used drug in these venues, a drug that promotes the up-and-down feelings described (sometimes at the very same time, in fact), is called "X"--as in ecstasy.

Precisely! I think I’m going to refer to your very concise comment whenever someone asks what this poem “means.” Thank you!
