languor















I’ve been in a languor lately,

a dreamy, slightly s u r r e a l
version of my life.

I find myself listening to people
or worse, talking to them

and all the sudden it hits me.

I’m the one doing the listening.
I’m the one doing the talking.

It’s like I was just watching myself from above
for minutes

and then

I’m sucked back into their
perception.

It’s like perpetual
d
é
j
à

v
u.

I watch myself do something
and then jump into my body
just after.

Away from people it is worse.

Hours slip by before I realize
I am me.

I snap and check myself,
remaining cool until the next

distraction.
