Manifest The Fallen...

Weird...  Something happened I either cannot put my finger on or I just don't want to say what I really feel for fear some may think me mad.  As I walked from The Vitamin Shoppe on 86th back to where I'm staying, I noticed someone I had seen before standing a block away in front of me just staring in my direction with a smirk on her face.  She had thick glasses but it was apparent she could see better than I could.  As drew closer it was as though this was the same person but wasn't...if that makes sense.

As I approached to say hello, she clearly did not recognize me and could only look at me from the corner of her eye.  This woman in her 70's sheepishly told me how good I looked insisting she wasn't flirting but kept repeating "you stand out...you stand out".  She must've said it three times in succession like she was forced to.  I knew she did not remember me and I knew...she was different.  What light was on her face was gone.  Not just gone...but replaced by dark.  Her presence was different as well.  What was clean and clear before was now almost ashy and dank.  I kept our strange conversation to about 25 seconds or so and I walked away perplexed.

I don't know what just happened or if it meant anything at all.  It sure did leave a mark...but why?  I know I said I would be honest about everything on here but some things I can say are reserved for those that can understand.  For those standing in the same space; that can speak the same language...I can say a lot in two words.  Since that type is fading, I'm left to this medium.  I started this piece by saying "weird".  Allow me to say "well, another day in the life...".

Maybe sayin "it's time" is truer than when I've said it before...we'll see...
