now imagine you’re in a room; sitting on a chair with yr hands relaxed on yr thighs. now imagine the room is void of light; not darkness just the absence of light. now imagine the room is empty; except for you - and the chair you’re sitting on. now imagine a sound. like a giant sledgehammer pounding aginst the outer walls of the room. close yr eyes. are you there yet?
now imagine you press yr hand against your ears; to shut out the sound. now imagine you scream out into the room that is void of light. now imagine that no one can hear yr screams; not even you. now imagine the room begins to quake. now imagine you start to fall; but there’s no floor to catch you. now imagine you fall uninterrupted for an hour; with yr hand pressed against your ears and a scream not even you can hear. close your eyes. are you there yet?

now imagine. close yr eyes. are you there yet?

now imagine you wake up; & the room yr in is knee deep w. snow, and outside the windows a giant fish curiously watching; every move you make. now imagine the room; outside the room. now imagine the room is truly empty and you are merely observing a residual memory; of a thousand lost dreams; close yr eyes. now imagine you wake up in total silence; blind or blindfolded. are you there yet?
now imagine cars hiss outside the boarded windows; the living-dead parade. now imagine you can’t see them & they can’t see you. close yr eyes - dream; now imagine the room you’re in starts to shrink. now imagine the phone rings from beneath the floor & the lights begin to flicker uncontrollably; you run but there is nowhere to run; there is no outside. are you there yet?

awake or dreaming - running screaming - is that the question?

now imagine close yr eyes are you there yet?



well ...

are you?
