Compulsion   You can’t not do it — you can think about it only after the fact, and before you do it again. Go ahead and mouth   all your tired platitudes about restraint — but what about the bubble wrap, the doubt disguised as the last piece of pie, the brain-   teasers, the Loreleis inside who pour their honey into your ears, dare you, haunt you till you’ve had enough and still want more?     © Michael Fleming Dummerston, Vermont October 2021
