Poem: Self-Myths

There were all these
Myths
about Heroin Addiction
that we beleived fervently.
Myths
that justified our continued use
like:

"You only become an addict if you
use it for three days in a row."

Looking back now,
these are the stupidist,
most obvious,
Lies
in existence.
But at the time we spoke them
like Ancient Sages;
Wise and Experienced.
Endlessly repeating our
"Universal Laws of Drug Use"
to all the other idiots,
future junkies,
who would listen to us.

How many beleifs,
which I hold right now,
will one day turn out,
to be just as stupid?
