Sometimes I feel like i’m nobody at all. I just feel detached, ya know? Like a dream. And things just start happening around me. I move or say something and things react slowly. I just stare at a screen that spies on my life but then there’s that sense that it’s not even my life that I’m watching. Somebody else says something, but they’re not speaking to me. They aren’t even talking to Lynne. And neither of us answer. It’s almost like somebody else is occupying my body. There’s my pale skin, my messy hair; my face and my eyes and my hands but inside it’s not me. I can’t even feel empty because i don’t feel at all. And I don’t even get to feel depressed or relieved that it’s not really me down there, inside that little screen. When she pricks her finger or stubs her toe, I don’t feel the pain. Because that’s not really me. I’m up here, just watching the screen…
