Habits or Addictions
How can we escape our habits,
proliferating like rabbits,
and become with much practicing
like an inborn natural thing?
But, do we want to escape them,
or wholeheartedly embrace them?
Habits are not an addiction
or some unwanted affliction.
The habits which we cultivate
are not evil but can be great.
It is knowing the difference
which can make our habits make sense.
My own tendency to make rhymes
seems like an addiction sometimes.
