Description
when i'm alone in a room i forget i existi knock over a bucket of tea lights
and am surprised when it makes a sound
spilling out all over the hardwood
my coworker asks if i am okay
i say yes
he asks if i am sure
i walk back to the train
and hover non-corporeal
like the time i got sunstroke
how everything went cold
and i wanted to sleep on the sidewalk
a softer version of that
it's startling when friends say my name
when my footsteps make a sound
when automatic doors
open
i am relearning how to be a person
and i learn slowly
through endless
repetitions
i buy a package of french fries
and eat them on the train home
