Opioid

Tristan Robert Lange

               i used  to
      think a whole lot
about how to avoid all
pain, because nobody ever
    truly wants to endure
                  suffering ,
                     bec-
                     ause
                     pain
                   feels
       punish-
   ing
and just
too
hard.
 
nowadays
i allow my eyes
to inform my
brain,
and my eyes
see
 
that
 
comfort
is an awful opioid
        numbing
the
        masses
to careless
contentment
with
       detrimental
derivatives
of life.
