Thanks JDofing, I'll correct the "large", good catch.

Shem,

It's a perspective piece, kind of like if you were painting a person from all different sides. I think the nuance comes with the last two lines. I've already written one on addiction. Here is the link

Evidently I neglected to post it, so I posted it in fun, or maybe I posted it under a different title.

aha, i see. oh that is really interesting. so it is part of a larger 'thing', like a meditation on addiction? that is really interesting. i mean especially interesting on this kind of platform. yes, that would be cool to read them all together. super. however, i still think this is far too prosaic for a poem. you have, of course, made it look like a poem [physically] but being in the second person it just reads like a series of angry texts.
