There's this thing. This thing is up in the air.

Looking down.    Looking around.


Why is the air so thin?  Being present is the topic.


The trend in my brain. What is a trend? 


Seems like I just noticed this 



is what everyone does. 


   Always known. 

Actually. 


Then why is it so hard? Why is the air so thin?


 5 things you see. 

Why can’t I see? 

Can you see what’s in front of you?

                                                 There’s a foggy screen. 

                                                 That light is flickering.

                                                 My eyes are tired.


4 things you can touch. 
That oil burn on my wrist earlier still hurts. The surface of my dining table is cold.

 

3 things you hear. What’s that humming? 


2 things you can smell. I can’t really smell anything.


1 thing you can taste. My congestion has been bad these days. 


Why are you questioning every thought?



You already forgot the thought. 

That's not true. 

It's somewhere there.


                                       


Why is the air so thin up here?
