And I only sleep when I’m awake. It’s Friday and I had a dream that was more vivid and engaging than anything that has happened to me during this dull, gray week. I only retained this insight for the brief moment after I woke up, before my mind switched off in preparation for going about my rote, insipid tasks. I’m waiting for the tipping point wherein I fully recede into the dream world and leave this grim, featureless shadoworld behind.
So if you see me and I don’t see you back, I’m not being rude, I’m dreaming.
(Also, I’ve been taking in a lot of PKD and shrooms lately …but this is probably incidental.)
The empire never ended.
