I love taking a FAT RIP!
a deep breath…in…
…hold it for awhile.
Hostage.

…just before they’re about to pay the ransom,
let it go.
I feel my heartbeat…s l o w.
I feel my muscles replenish.
I feel the way my body is put together; the way it works.
The way everything works really.
Everything is quiet; time has stopped—I’ve got Bernard’s watch.
All things: suspended.
I have the world to myself,
I don’t have to share it with anyone.
No demand.
No chaos, calamity, commands.
But in that moment,
when everything is quiet, I can understand.
I can hear what my brain whispers; the message that doesn’t normally make it through.
“You don’t have to share the world with anyone, you get to.
