Mental Absence

Where am I? For I do not feel my self here. That essential "I" has wandered while idly scrolling social media. I sought nothing engaging nor enlightening, and so off the self traversed to vibrant worlds.

Yet I could not recount the fantastic things I had imagined for it must be the same self stretched between the two tasks. Attention neither here nor there, and now there is nothing to be recalled of either. Do not linger in mental absence long where it is dull and too foggy to be assured of your own company.

Next time I shall accompany my self to the forrest and stars and a great many mysteries, for these are the tales I'd rather tell when once again we meet in the here and now.
