Back to the wall
Music playing
Something slowly arising
Preparing me to fall
Light and giddy
Swaying and saying
Words which stumble out
Sloshing and without
A drop of sense
Fingers tapping each tiny letter
Attempting to convey
The strangeness taking over
Wondering if it would get any better
Alas, it only gets worse
Before it gets better
Lying on the floor
Limbs stretched and curling back in
Laughter erupting in bursts from within
Wild, untamed and oh, what more
What more did come?
A loss of time,
All left in fog
Alone and lightly afraid
Yet thoughtless
Like a small child hearing a rhyme
Fragments
Moments of time
Glimpses into memory
Much left unseen
Slipping into sleep
In my head did I weep
For what I do not know
Kneading the carpet insecurely like dough
Awakened not an hour later
Stiff and unsure
Climbing to my bed
To rest my confused head.

I was alone in my room though, the whole night. I don't know what happened, but I couldn't stop laughing. I don't remember much else. Yes, I'm fine. No, I didn't take anything.
