Questions flood!
Where?
Why?
Who?
How?

My name eludes me

I recognize nothing
landscape
location
faces
buildings


All alone
in a crowd
on a busy street


I read the signs
and understand the words
but they tell me nothing

Breathing hard
dripping sweat
I look for a place to retreat

Dark alley
off the street
all alone

The questions flood again
Who?
Where?
How?
Why?
Fugue: a state or period of loss of awareness of one's identity, often coupled with flight from one's usual environment, associated with certain forms of hysteria
