I've been many kinds of addict

I've been many kinds of addict:
thumb sucker
nail biter
sweet tooth
gut stuffer
weed smoker
hard talker
puzzle whiz
and organizer of closets.

Mechanically I cope
by means of little cut-off switches,
automatic flick
when my burdened circuits overload:

Murder mystery
word game
television
dildo,
murder mystery
word games
television
dildo,

But still the pressure rises,
builds and rises,
still the pressure rises,
swells and rises,
still the pressure--click:

Shut down
turn off
float
let go
sleep
(oh sleep),
refuel
charge up
and try again.
