Delusion


Unnatural when a person rediscovers that she appears to maintain an existence outside of her own head. She is in fact visible. The walls are solid and cannot be sidled or spied through. Others claim to be people just like her. Impossible. If she held her breath long enough in the swimming pool, she would not become a clownfish, she would die instead. Die! Impossible. Apparently her feet are her own, and the pain is hers when she scalds them with coffee. But she can watch the scenario like a film. The others that claim to be people [perhaps they are people, in which case she isn't sure she'd like to call herself a person] claim a claim on her and call it Love. Impossible. It's another word for bossing her hologram around. Only an idiot would think this visible act was a self.

Sometimes I feel this way. Like when I remember that my name matches my face.
