Addicted
——————————————-
At the slightest hint of discomfort
I grasp desperately for the remedy
Hidden deep in a pocket or bag.
*
Oh the relief when I find it,
The slow twist of the oily tube
At the slightest hint of discomfort.
*
Bracing winds, gentle breezes, dry office air
Fissuring of skin and cracking smile
I grasp desperately for the remedy.
*
Desperation due to desiccation
Panic sets in when it eludes me
Hidden deep in a pocket or bag.
