controversial opinion: all addicts innocently place
empathy in that grace growing into a seed of community;
are left with nothing but unspoken words; empty stomachs;
quivering pens; blood-stained documents; cursors blinking.

controversial opinion: all addicts want for existence
free of formalities; performances; niceties which spite

full of statuesque souls in lieu of human spirits.
