In the darkness of a long Friday night shift Making 100 pizzas an hour my energy drains, my mind wanders I leave my body behind to cut the pies and I happily flip between dimensions memories, lives and possibilities. 3 physically grueling hour later, I return to find my poor body exhausted Ordered to some random task. The REAL me responds out of my broken body with a ******** quip about linear time and temporal mechanics. Suddenly, I hear myself! Suddenly, I see myself! Suddenly, blindingly, I feel a light! Bright, all encompassing, radiant light Like the North Star, but undimmed and unhindered. In all its splendour, it shines a leaf-covered path suddenly clear as day! What I would love to do is to study physics and obtain a master's degree in Quantum Mechanics. Energised by naught more than this realisation my body works effortlessly on a record long shift while my heart sings and my mind dances happily and I, the true me rejoices For finally, I have realised and allowed myself to accept what excites me!
