My wife insists that I obsess over things...

You know what? She's absolutely right. If you're reading this, you already know that my current obsession is nostr.😜

This is the FIRST PUBLICATION of my original work, as some of that "Other Stuff" right here on N.O.S.T.R.

Obsession

by Duncan Cary Palmer

Like a tire with a flat spot,

Or an elbow out of joint

Like a ladder with a missing rung,

A pencil short a point

Like a rainstorm falling on a dime,

A lightbulb with a hole

Like a jar of jam with one big lump,

A broken piece of coal

My life is out of balance

And my days are all consumed

By my latest fascination;

All competing thoughts are doomed

I've lost all track of time and space,

My head's stuck in a hole;

Important matters set aside,

Obsession's on a roll

Life now has a single focus—

Normal balance isn't it—

I've become a one-track zombie

In an epileptic fit

Won't you help me?

Look! I'm drowning

In an ocean deep as hell,

Sinking deeper by the minute

Trapped within obsession's spell...

There's so many things I need to do...

If I could just break free...

Pray for me...

Pray for me!
