No one else in the world was breathing and there was no light
and only the sound of a second-hand window air conditioner
or the clang of a furnace turning on or off.
Depersonalization is one of the benefits of solitude as you approach sleep.
Only in the darkness can you forget who you are
and pretend that you will not wake the next day to the tedium of life.
almost you disappear but there is still something left,
the taste of a cigarette
the sound a hat did not make as it fell to the ground
skipping a day like a rock on a lake in the rain
but you will always wake up
and you will never be free
