I am not here
I am not here.
My body is
But my mind
Is not.
It has flown through the clouds
Over the moon
Far away
From the desk I sit at.
It has traveled through words
Soon to be written
Books soon to be read.
It has recounted the steps of
Yesterday
Thought about steps to be taken
Tomorrow.
It is a terrible time for it to have
Left me
When the teacher is talking about something
Important
But I can’t choose
When it leaves.
If it were closer than where it is now
I could pull it
Back
Like a fish reeled to the shore
By a hook.
But it is not closer
And pulling it back seems
Merely impossible.
