Chaos

I can hear the busy life of a fellow human being unfolding just outside my room. I should not be overhearing even if is not disturbing my mindset at all. Like a careless child, I lay face pressed against the pillow that’s clutched firmly by my hands. It almost makes it seem like I am worried. Am I? I do not know. All that I can feel is the numbing sensation one feels right before sleep sets in.

The fan makes its rotation felt. It is not a disturbance; it is just a desperate call for attention. The arcane sounds from the woods outside my window have subsided. Or have they stopped affecting me?

One of my eyes sees the world around; the other shuts itself and lies buried. The open eye aches at times; the other has always been numb. Bikes whiz past proclaiming their blaring engines in a vain attempt to tease me.

I have given myself up to the play of Time.

    Thanks! I belong to the same category but imagine a deviation from the usual for a change? Imagine chaos within your head!
    Feels different.

    Really? What do you both play?
    I have recently started to record the infinite lines that surge through my mind at the drop of a hat.

  12. it's pretty simple, you think too much, crash late, wake up uneasy, feel sleepy throughout the day.

    That's it. Then I have done that. Yay!

    @Harish
    Is it worth finding what that is? MMM is the rule of the day. You go against it; you are weird. Period.

    @Hari
