mist pervades as I travel
in a right brain time warp

big picture forests and piles
of dead grass manifest

a soon to be demolished shed
smells vaguely of natural gas

old tools rust: vice grips, drill bits
and exacto-knives gather dust

it feels like I am dating my own life
colorless dead selves emerge

I carry them toward the brink of cognition
lay them on an imaginary stage
