and purpose, I’m living without.

What purpose is life’s quest for me?

Life is theater, I don’t

I was simply sitting: relaxed in my chair;
suddenly it seemed like reality was faxed;

I was no longer feeling relaxed.

A bizarre moment; most unsettling;
seemingly exposing another dimension;
much like, with reality, I’d been meddling;
