Upon revival the room should
have traces of the scents and sounds
detailed on the intake forms. There
are only so many times we
wake to this world and the first step will set
the pace of our recovery.
The chemicals used for the long
nap should quickly wear off and your
vision should gradually de-mystify
then there are those few vital things that
have shifted or been seconded to

I was on edge I’ll say because
of too much sun why not and it
didn’t matter where we stopped for the night
I just didn’t want to go back
and trap myself. Again. You have to move
carefully when you find you’re a
head in a jar. But I’m so tired. My
words wade the short cold waves and end
where they began in a still mumbling mouth
forever filled with acrid liquids
wolfed by the woof and warp of unwashed
waters all the days of this half life
for half a dozen or so bubbles that
break with awful scents and few clear notes
