An ethereal trance
Caught in the midst of it all
Slipping past pages
Escaping the eyes of others
Climbing gently out the window
Delicate wings, broken by the slightest
Faze, sprouts out behind me
Like seedlings to a bud
Desperate in the air
Fwoop, fwoosh
Flap I go up into the night
Up above I reach and see the sky
Ornament with sprinkled salt
Salt…?
Hmmm… Alright
Grilled beef, hot pot, Italian pasta, Paella
And my favorite Hunan pork stir fry
Which one to choose tonight?
Thunk, Thump, TUNK!
Snap out of my trance
I raise my eyes to see a hand pointing to
A question
Peculiar and yet a tiny bit familiar
Ah yes, I’m back from my adventures
The mundane human world can’t
Accommodate otherworldly species like me
Looking down
I don’t understand a single sentence
On the page of my math book
I sigh
And start
All over again
At the top of my page
