speaking of them

speaking of them --
diamonds,

best friends,
so too
brilliant forms

of certain subjugation,
deliberate
or else

circumstantially inflicted
even if self-imposed,
made habitual --

strange,
yet understandably cogent,
the ways of the afflicted,

anything but those of the
hopelessly addicted,
i know

they are.
striving for remedy
otherwise blinded

by their intoxicating glare
therefore unwittingly ensnared --
thus set

to be virtually
indistinguishable;
if junkie or votary.
