Zoning Out is Easier

I am stuck in limbo

Not moving up or down

Just floating in the middle 

Behind a confused frown

I can\'t remember feelings

I can\'t remember light

I can\'t remember anything 

Just this strange half flight

I open my eyes and then I see

A classroom right in front of me

But I\'m not present 

I\'m not there

Just floating in this thickened air

With a shock I see my hand 

It\'s writing something dull and bland

It\'s something off the board

But the memories not stored…

Suddenly I understand

And I understand in full

My mind has left my body

It\'s floated out my skull

It\'s actually quite peaceful

Floating in the air

I wish I could stay here 

And leave my body in that chair.
