Of course, I could just run out to the drug store.
Oh, Woe!!! Oh, woe, addiction being tested. In need of a shower out of those clothes into the shower… Dressed then, then but…? Lost and couldn’t be found! Addiction being tested. Digging in the hamper pockets turned out where? Oh, woe, woe is me! Searching, searching bottom to top: beneath the bed behind the dresser. Oh, woe! Addiction being tested, addicted since nine, Never, no never without, Oh, woe, woe is me! Addicted since nine never without Chapstick Never without! Lips now cracking blood coming soon need a Chapstick fix! Oh, Where oh where is it? Oh, woe need a Chapstick fix, oh, woe! ©June 2, 2012/ Mark M. Lichterman

Made me chuckle, Mark! Excellent cascade of wondering, so micro-materialized as a simple chap stick. Sentient and funny, oh, woe!

Very funny. My mom and Eileen have similar afflictions. In a pinch, vaseline. Patrick

Now that is an addiction! I never used the stuff, even at thirty below when I was a kid and the air was about 10% humidity. My lips got a little dry, but never cracked like other kids.

Delightful! It is a marvelous thing to hear of other human beings' addictions. Mine is nail clippers. I do that same panic search for nail clippers because every tiny unsmoothness of cuticles is like the pea under the 25 mattresses. Thanks for this comforting confession! ~~ Diana
