A. D. D. I. C. T. I. O. N. Poem by Kyoko Aurion

A pop in the mouth
A stab in the arm
A click of a mouse
A lick on the lips
only it speaks louder in silence
where what it all leads
addiction.

the swirl that the present
to let go of the past
still uncertain of the future
where the world holds
only forgetting all
what is all true to know
psychedelia.

Only each dose, each pop
each stab, each click
each lick, can flick
what the mind thinks it can
handle all at once, but no true
escape exists to know
oneself.

only time will tell what
it truly means in this world
the escape we once all turn to
what was normal was never normal,
society will still shape
what truly means to become perpetually
addicted.
