Legal Addiction
How can I describe this?
Blood is no more running
in my veins,
but ink.
If water stopped to exist,
I won't panic, I have words
to drink.
The crumbs of metaphor
and imagery satisfy
my hunger.
After today I won't rage,
the "iambics" would calm
my anger.
If no more air existed,
I won't care, I shall inhale
my rhymes.
It's okay if all deserted me;
poetry is all I need to fill
my times.

I think this is amazing
I was thinking about my addictions today. Many of them replaced the things I loved to do as younger man like art and writing. Earlier I was finishing up some things and I said to myself “you’ve got to go sit down and write.” Not from any necessity other than it’s just where my restless energy needs to go now. As of yet I’ve only written comments, lol. I’m working up to something.
“The crumbs of metaphor
and imagery satisfy
my hunger.”
That’s brilliant,
Tim
