My Covert Sin

This dirty habit
brown bag wrapped
tucked in the car's trunk

This shameful sneak
collected furtively
purchased with cash

This wretched defect
spirited silently
stashed in the basement

This stealthy pleasure
clandestine creeping
down the rear staircase

This illicit booty
midnights opened
beneath green-shaded lights

This suppressed passion
family discouraged
insomniac indulgence

My secret weakness
enjoyed eagerly
musty antique books
