Like Alice. I didn't even know I was turning the corner until the landscape changed. From one street to another is a strange universe. A nineteen inch step and my world has become a different place. A smile that once made muscles in my face react in reply now makes my stomach wrench with the knowledge that I will let you down. I cannot go along with this, as happy as I know it makes you. It feels like the oxygen is quickly running out in the sealed space that I inhabit. I need a hand to hold mine and I know that neither of yours can do the job right now. Not without trying to hold me down. This paving flag is a tiny island, surrounded by water. If I take a step back, foward or sideways, I drown. There are no cheat sheets or magical tricks. I have to sink or swim in this unfamiliar place. |
