Curiosity is a craving
Sent out upon the world
And it is never quite satiated
Instead it licks
And gulps
Lolls in the shade of a tree
For but a heartbeat
Before the question monster kicks in again
To live within the predatory
Appetites of a curious mind
Is to never know peace
Apart from in those terse strained moments
Of self control
Shhhhh
Stop asking
I admit defeat
And for a second it all falls silent
Lassitude seeps in
Then I wonder as to etymology
It begins again
