“What! No Beer, Booze, Dope?” Tanka 103

I am an addict –

water, air, food, minerals:

and if found free, sex!

The rest are negotiable,

but salt and bread are required!

“What! No Beer, Booze, Dope?”

I am an addict –

water, air, food, minerals:

and when found free, sex!

“(W)rest Dem Bones!”

Already they fight

over where to rest the bones:

earth, air, fire, water!
