Addictive Mediations

Addiction is what happens
when mediation doesn't happen.

Addiction is what happens
with my feelings
when mediation doesn't happen
in MeWe conscious thoughts.

Addiction is what happens
with bipolar up and down
dipolar co-arising feelings
when compassionate mediation
doesn't happen in ego/eco-systemic
bicameral Both/And thoughts.

Addiction 
to hearing oneself chatter away
is what happens
when more modest mediation 
doesn't happen.

Addiction to fast-paced competition happens
when cooperative mediation doesn't.

Addiction happens
when mediation
doesn't, quite so much.

Addiction
to mediation
doesn't do much.

Mediating
addictions
does all else.
