Every time I thought as though my brain was shutting down I would spring right back up and all would be yellow and dizzy again. My blood felt like toothpaste and I was sure that there were microscopic bees in the air, or maybe coated on the surface of my eyes. Something blurring everything. I’d capture such a significant thought. And then lose it somewhere, into space. Frozen in porcelain time. When I closed my eyes it felt as though I was being cradled inside a music box. Mermaids and ghosts would sing through oceans of wood chips and pearls. Almost rhythmically and instinctively, my body would rock back and forth. Hypnotized.
