Dreamlike Sensations & Perceptual Distortions

Some miss

the invincibility of youth;

I missed

the invincibility of youth.

Choking on

the distance in the distance –

          the air

          contaminated by longing –

slipping back

backwards

into the world of fog;

relearning how to dream.

They say

these issues

tend

to resolve

themselves on

their own

but I am malnourished

on the 53^rd floor

of this modern apartment.
