Hi, hello. Can you help me?

Hi, hello. Can you help me?

I’m looking for who I used to be.

Unconcerned, dazzled by the simple

Things weren’t so clouded then.

***

Excuse me. Are you busy?

I’m looking for a life that’s a little less dizzy.

Uncluttered, easy to slide into

A soft, warm blanket would be welcome.

***

Oh, I’m sorry. Am I bothering you?

I’m looking for any progress that’s not been skewed.

Unbiased, quantifiable evidence

That might be easier to understand after tomorrow.

***

Do you know who I could call?

Message?

Telegram?

It’s important I find a sign.

***

You see, I miss her dearly.

She used to fill me with such joy,

Acutely affecting all facets of my day.

***

Hi, hello. Can you help me?
