What do you tell a drug addict
Who feels he’s messed up
His life and lives with
Remorse over
What he’s done?
You show him the skills
He has learned along the way.
Like being in charge of supply
And demand. Like reworking
The budget and finding the cash.
Like being fiercely protective of that
That he loves.
You show him to find the gold
In the shit. You show him
The show isn’t over yet.
The end.
