“The Dopamine Paradigm by Stewart Stafford
Never so connected,
Yet, never further apart,
A crowded room's isolation,
An aspic suitors' false start.
Fear and hatred everywhere,
When toxic ideologies stink,
Lab rats of our own making,
Reward hits go over the brink.
Throwing away tomorrow,
For a dopamine buzz today,
Home fort, don't multiply,
A eunuch future staggers away.

She found her fingers at the seam, her breath shallow and shaking as she remembered the way his rough, callused fingers felt inside her, the ache of his teeth at her shoulder, the sound of his growling moans as he gripped her hair and plunged deep into her throat.
