To Be Stale

You’ve been feeling a particular existence recently-

It can only be described as what you imagine

it would feel like to lose an arm, but feel like it’s still there.

You hear songs

or have moments of what you guess is nostalgia, that make you check your front door or think

about someone who just isn’t someone.

It’s a bizarre experience.

You feel like you’re being tricked.

It is October after all.
