You know you've reached something different
When you find yourself watching
Your own actions detached from yourself
For the first time.
When You feel something gradually easing
From steaming to freezing
Slow enough that you don't notice
but fast enough that you're amazed.
When you're disappointed entering a room,
Frustrated in the room, and
Beautifully surprised upon leaving.
What?
No, I didn't go there.
Elizabeth knows what she's talking about, you know.
What?
A knowing nod, slow and epiphianic.
You are so not English.
You don't even make a good effort. Shut up.
What?
