Aurora Antonovic

Addiction

You've become

A bad habit

Like Coke

First thing in the morning,

Or endless bottles of

Perrier

I can ill afford

But seem to crave all afternoon

Procrastinating, like

Not cleaning the lint screen

Each time I use the dryer

Thinking next time will turn into

This time

Reading until two am when

I have to get up at five

Skipping supper

Buying sweaters

I know I'll never wear

Collecting toe rings

Lip gloss

In every sticky shade

Not really needing any of these things

But not wanting to do without either

So you've become, like,

This addiction

But I can give you up

Any time I want

Yeah -

Any time I want
