Addiction

For some strange reason,

by some weird force,

I was drawn to my book

as the open land

does a horse

Like:

Addict; drug

as

dust; under the rug

so deeper and deeper I dug

to find more words

and more verbs.

More adventures in my brain

as I seek to entertain

-a rhythm to maintain

-but no tempo to sustain
