how do I know that this chair I'm looking at is actually real?
how do I know I'm real?
am I wearing clothes? is someone naked but I see them wearing clothes?
how do you know you're real?
how can you be sure?
does everyone smell what you do? is there some way you could be smelling something different?
what if I'm asleep and dreaming about all of this?
what if tomorrow I wake up in my childhood bedroom and none of this suffering happened? that would be neat.
it would be so good to wake up and be a kid again, to be sure I'm alive and not just imagining lives around me.
what if I'm not real, though?
what do I do if I can't do anything?
what do you feel when you can't feel a thing?
what do you say when your voice won't come out?
how do you do?
what do I do?
just take me out, I don't want to be here.
what's here?
somewhere I don't want to be.
who's me?
someone I'd like to meet.
how do you do?
I'm good, thanks.
