Addiction

Ropadop'amine

The Cruelty of Dopamine

Atonal bolero goes round in rote

Mounting its tension, seeking its home note

Which never comes.

.

The clonus fires and seizes about

The tissue in acid and muscles flout

Limitation.

.

I so need what I really do not need

Suffer the insufferable, indeed

Precipitous.

.

Peace unrequited, tragic asymptote

Fruitless debaucherous life zoetrope

My Hell is here.
