why i never took drugs

i start with  monstrous

bowl

of buttered popcorn

and settle

into the couch

for a binge night of Netflix.

it's two in

the morning, but maybe

one more

episode.

the show goes on.

each ending with a cliff

hanger.

i can't stop myself from

clicking yes,

one more. one more.

this is why i never took

drugs.
