Tweaking (Re-worked)

Tweaking is an activity that comes along with
such drugs as crystal meth.
It's when the hands get restless
and suddenly, these hands pick up and
drop more pointless activities that
are only worked on for a matter of minutes.

After 20 minutes, the task
becomes unbearable
and the insanity takes over in
one fatal thought.

These tasks are
subtly destructive; it’ll be
weeks before a single
one is finished.

Thumb and palm non-comprehendible
nothings to satisfy the urge like it’s
a mindless compulsion with
no intension of dying.

Page through scriptures of
a book, but stopping every
other word to consult the
dictionary, trying to grasp this exposed
content as perfect as possible.

As perfect as possible.
[Perfect: an impossible state of flawlessness.]

It's exhausting to the point
where this little drug habit that
slyly danced in and took over
becomes a task instead of an escape.
