i just need a little bump

whether

drug

or drink, sugar

or salt,

we all have our weaknesses.

for some

it's sleep,

or love,

or something close

to love,

perhaps

like or lust.

we need a bump,

a jolt whether

from

caffeine,

or smoke,

a dollop of dopamine,

something to get us

through the day.

something

to give us

a small serving

of hope.
