relaxed
sarpedon Musing around, spending a night in one's thoughts
Knowing full well
The adventure begins in another month
Life will resume, but it's a different life
It's hard to say better, though
It was nice to leave it two months ago
But the relaxation is embodied in the change


One thought runs through the head
Mingling and pervading
Your otherwise languid thoughts
But it calms and sooths
Like the rain drops pattering
On the rooftop driving home from some
Distant venue, alone.

"the instructions said it's a relaxant, and i am certainly comfortable." every syllable rolled out of his mouth.

the doctors office was disguised. unusual. in the operating room, he lay back and stared up at the photograph of trees reaching into an infinite sky pasted to the ceiling. the pill and the photograph extending his mind as his body was modified.

"there, all done" the doctor said. "ahead of schedule!"

and with that he was back in the world, the sun bright against the snow, the blue sky reaching to infinity like the pills slow reach into his mind.
