Simulation Of Sensation

Something strange happened today

At 2:51

My music skipped

& in that moment

It felt like a switch had flipped

I didn’t know exactly why

But I started to cry

Not that I was sad about anything

Not necessarily that I wasn’t sad

I just had a feeling of finality

An outcome or consequence

Regardless of being good or bad

I was done

With what?

I’m not exactly sure

I doubt that I’m completely done

With whatever I’ve forgotten that I started

But I was Happy whatever just ended

Was finally over – whether or not

Happy knew what to feel

Since then

About an hour & a half now

I’ve noticed subtle changes

& I’m hoping it’s a sign of more to come

The most standout difference since the switch

Is how my world looks, or rather

How it feels to look at my world

Before, it felt almost like a hovering camera

Observing my world from a screen

Streaming the reality from a lens behind my eyes

Yet, now things feel more substantial, tactile

Like I’m actually looking through my eyes

Like, when I reach out to touch things

I’m actually gonna pick up an object

& not just feel the simulation of sensation
