‘Riveted’
A magic pill that brings forth wakefulness instantaneously to my sleeping hippocampus sedated by the lullof every ticking time bombs: dead-lineswhere the living humans lie—this word is my panaceathat an unseen spirit injects often without consentlike emergency aid before all is too lateand there is no one in the roombut the patient and the medicine…
A night’s reflections on routines, lethargy, and what it means to live freely
