Disassociate

Some days I feel like I'm peering at life through a lens

The world fades out and  I'm sucked far away
Yet
I can still see from the small viewpoint I have
My ears ring and I don't even know where I'm at

Only that I'm not there
Not where my body stands
Any evidence of the inner person hidden behind a humane expression

When I come back it takes a moment m
Like stumbling home drunk

The world sways

Everything hits at once

The smell
The people
Not as far away as they were moments ago

How long was I gone?
Did anyone notice?
