I wake up giggling. I’m confident I no longer need to sleep more than a couple of hours. I’ve conquered time. I’m enlightened. Though standing I stumble. I reach for a bookcase. A top it sits a big bellied buddha. He laughs at my hubris, so I do as well.
And I need all the reasons I can find not to hate myself. But it’s hard. Even the idea makes me shiver. Because I see loving myself like looking down on others. Riding around on a high horse. And I never want to think I’m better then the people I see on the street. The ones who have it rough. The ones who don’t fit in. The ones I see my own face in.
