[Tiger the Lion]

He set the ball atop the hill
and watched it roll on down;
it hit a rock and then a twig
then stopped on flatter ground.

He took a drink before the bar
and watched his vision blur;
he bounced around inside his mind
then woke up next to her.

Was reading this again, purely for enjoyment, as I've commented on it already. But this time "flatter ground" made me ask "flatter than what"? Maybe "even ground" might have some effect if it doesn't disrupt your intent. Helpful or not, I thought I'd mention it.
