I disrobe and survey noiseless instruments so austere rather dreary colored walls that reflect unemotional elements I ask for another blanket so sterile a fragrance like nothingness fill my nose eyes float disregarding back to the strangeness of time moving as sounds of feet flap in the corridor I wait then as a subdued knock at the door my immortal sketch filters this time but I broaden with unpredicted comfort receptions you can only receive when people are not well an agreeable scene professional mollycoddling no fussy clinging of inseams that ruin atmospheres I go head on into obscurity as a nurse asked in a puzzled way about my faith she was confused by my notes about Dostoyevsky I provided in that portion of the form she wanted to know irrespective of what the other staff told her I shook my head with acceptance responding with a vague originality the back of my mind thinking what if I donβt return - a way that is disconcertingly adequate and peaceful and quiet I notice my garments stuffed into a clear plastic bag to be received by somebody upon my possible reemergence locating a theme in time and a lack of difficulty with everything not interfered with but unexpectedness actually the minutes move away knowing that I will not remember spike introduced to vein as they examine the drips of dose inhalations mounted in my face muffled voices fade the syringe is plunged I know the train is now approaching down the track but I am not uneasy for some reason talking more about nothing while people move the morning flows mechanically without me like water in a brook never to be seen again chatting melodically then calmness where I had gone that wintertime morning I canβt remember all I was content though on that cradle I know it was suitable late the process had taken and imagined into an abode that I no longer recall smiling knowing it was a delightful place where people take you into their care peeking slowly then through the fog when I glanced at my wife assured by the cup of coffee that she offered and recovery rinsed over me a return to my existence like returning from death
