My brain is normal and not at all strange I swear

Broken
Between one second
And the next

Tick
Tock
As though through a screen
Every person that you’ve seen
Now a stranger
Nothing stranger
Characters
Out of synch with the life you live
Separate and empty
Hollow beings
Unaware
But only for a moment
Only until the nex-

Writing has been a hobby of mine for years, so I'm just thrilled to be here! As for me, I love writing, dogs, and travel (only 1 continent left! Australia-.-)

Time lapses felt differently; waiting for a train to arrive or enjoying stimulation
This was really powerful. Absolutely amazing writing! I read it several times over and probably will again!
That empty hollow beings, sometimes I think that way too. Shall we disembowel them to actually make them hollow? Lol. Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me. Loved your poem!
Oooo! This was thought provoking indeed! Great work here Alex!! It makes me think about the difference of what we know and what we think we know... and the idea that time changes what we know, too.
If I’m reading this right, it’s how other people feel to me from time to time. Quite an interesting poem
Quite tantalyzing ... I like it. ☺
