A film about an addiction to attraction
I was always attracted
not by some quantifiable, external beauty,
but by something deep down,
something absolute.
Just as some people
have a secret love
for rainstorms, earthquakes, or blackouts,
I liked that certain undefinable something
directed my way
by members of the opposite sex.
For want of a better word,
call it magnetism.
It’s a kind of charm
that snares me and reels me in
