(Dream)

The scene starts in my office

It’s like a movie

Like I’m witnessing a private conversation

But the person on the couch appears to be speaking in my direction

Her hair covers her head

She’s cradling her face in her hands

She’s crying

Sobbing

The only thing audible is an abrupt statement she makes

“I can’t believe you’re seeing and hearing all of this. Good thing your face is so flat!”

As if to say it was less embarrassing to be watching by a relaxed face

She immediately turns to me as she says this and laughs

Making eye contact suddenly pulls me into the body sitting across from her

It no longer feels like a movie

But like I’m trapped in this body suit

I wake up
