imagining where i might be, when you close your eyes what do you see? we'll both observe just you and me. convergence of this heresy. set adrift out on the sea, feel the calm surrounding me. restlessly surrendering when panic strikes at ramming speed. i've landed here for now, a frightened sobbing coward, stranded in this consciousness. not one familiar shape, and no hope of escaping. head back, skyward, squinting eyes. desperate for some sign of life. the past comes flooding back, and now it's clear that all along i was right here--RIGHT HERE!!! you get as good as you give, and sometimes better. and i should've given better. i should've done better.
