I seem to love whatever I do
Not beforehand
And not at first
But as soon as I’ve got into it
So I have to be very wary
About what I choose to do
So I don’t start loving
Something that’s not good for me
Because sometimes
I just continue
Because I love it
Whatever it is I’m doing
This has been very detrimental
To my health
To my well being
Because this love is blind
Am I sick
Am I neurotic
Or am I in love with life itself
Just being here and now
Who the hell knows
Who the hell can tell
What this love is
Whether it’s virtue or vice
I certainly can’t
I’m much too involved
To see clearly on this
Even in retrospect
It’s my modus operandi
It’s just the way I am
Sometimes I like it
Sometimes I don’t
All I want to know
Is this a common trait
Or am I the only one
Who is afflicted with it
And if there are others
How do they handle it
Are they in therapy
Or in a monastery
Is it curable
Will it go away
Or is it a blessing
To be used diligently
