Its strange sometimes how ones body can act entirely apart from the mind, almost as if they were two different people competing for the same occupied space. This is one of those times. My body sits idly while my mind is in a state of turmoil. I'm plugged into the world through a set of ear buds, subconscious of what's going on around. But I don't think I'm here, not entirely at least. Ten minutes from now, I'm not sure I'll be able to recall this moment in the time line of life. Its almost as if I'm on a ride of my life, gazing through the rounded plastic dome above me. I've started to look beyond the bugs splattered on the windshield. I see mechanical arms whirled past me. I'm spinning around and around. I look around me, everything is at a stand still, but looking out, I'm moving faster than I realize. I concentrate. I can feel the slight increase and decrease in g-force. Why was I oblivious to this before? Has it always been this way. I take a closer look out of my sphere. There's a gray sky. But there's one in here, bright blue and clear. I look closer at the bonds that bind me, they're weathered, rusted with age and time. Down below me as I'm heaved into the sky is the control panel. The bright red lever shins brightly in the melancholy air under glass. I wonder why there's no one around to stop this ride I'm on. But the overgrown streets and vending carts give me my answer. I catch glimpses of abandoned buildings, their roofs collapsed and rotting. Is this an illusion or is it reality? I can only hope that there will be someone someday to lift that cover on that lever. Someone to slow this down. Someone to tell what happened, why things are this way. Until then, I'm spinning into the distance until the ride breaks down and takes me with it.
