Musk

A wet floor sign now
Where you once stood.
Lightheaded from the intoxicating scent.
Knees weak and trembling.
Dopamine hits like a truck.
Addicted now to the source. 
Nose flares in search.
Sweat beads on the forehead.
Desire drives the urge…

You move the mop bucket to the next aisle…

"Lightheaded from the intoxicating scent." That can happen, especially after a long period of time. Such vivid images you paint with your words. My best to you. ~ Brandy
