DISSOCIATION

Cognitive
Imperative
Endless and bleak

Take a shower
Another shower
Another day
behind thick glass
A definition
that’s what I seek

Brushed my teeth
Ate my breakfast
Tied my shoelaces
Now what?

All these towering columns
Threaten me
Staring at me
Staring..at… me

I’m naked
Yet I’m wearing clothes
No connection
No connection
I have no phone

The burning bush inside me screams
Every broken heart
is linked to another broken dream

Another day behind
thick glass
All these faces visible
I’m in the centre of this armada
reaching critical mass

The judge is long gone
The verdict is done
The case closed
I’m still naked
Yet I’m wearing clothes
