A Poem by Alex Lifeson

This is an expansion on my first "poem" Dirt. I just finished writing a chapter called "Addicted to Drama" and I wanted something to accompany the title. I thought about 'Dirt' and on the ride to work came up with this expansion.

Dirt is the opiate
Of the small child.

However, as adolescence approaches,
Occurs a change of sorts.

Where virtual dirt; human drama,
Becomes the opiate of the adult.

Good thing I am not claiming to be a poet then (please see my explanation in the 'poem' dirt). Michael was offended when I called him pretentious on this thread:

So he decided to come onto my page and "tear me a new one". Kudos!! Actually since I am an addictions therapist, I think opiate is perfect.
