I shattered a window today. I'm not sure if they noticed or even care. My reasons remain cloaked, forever enlaced in a boundless mind.

Time has congealed. Thickened and caked like day old tomato soup left on the kitchen ledge...

I once thought of myself as a cloned hero; a person who could be relied upon to save the day. But I've become leaden, downright wacked in the skull, wedged between here and there.

I remember the glow, the dance of happiness locked in motion, wintering in a decadelong glance.

They know I'm here, but only coddle their own feelings. I used to be like them, living out dreams and sharing love, until my body left me for reasons I can’t recall. Only the repetitive memory of a gun and a struggle with a woman I don’t know, remains. I’m left with my wakened spirit to linger between these walls. No angel or light to lead me away, no one to acknowledge me...
