I Lost It

Sometime ago I lost my grip on reality
and drifted from here to there.
The whole experience was totally surreal,
and it’s something I don’t usually share.

Life in that world is not to be recommended,
the places were pure science fiction and weird,
the creatures were illogical, but intelligent,
extremely intriguing, and yet to be feared.

No one moved their mouths when talking,
and they gestured with arms and feet.
Their eyes and tongues did incredible things;
and the places we were in, did speak.

I was moving without thinking or walking,
in an instant I was here and then there.
With no idea of where I was going next,
I travelled between zip codes in the air.

The imaginary combined with reality,
and this became normality everyday.
I couldn’t distinguish between them,
until the unreal just faded away.
