I’d forgotten that feeling

Mind unspooling

Thoughts rolling in and out like the tide

The coil loosening

Hearing the radio

Seeing people around

How did I get hear?

When did this hum in my ears begin?

When did I stop blinking?

I was an animal once

Baking in the sun

Playing in dirt

Imagining and wishing

Now I just wait

Constantly

For the next drop
