WHERE'D I PUT MY GODDESS?

There are so many theories about what the addict needs
and so many more about what the non-addict,
who is an addict addict, seeks.

And while we debate
there are two people,
innocent to the trials of this life,
simply recognizing in each other
the same confusion,
the same pain,
at the odd and excruciating separation—
that much less alone.
