Not being anywhere

These days I must take the world in small and carefully measured doses, it is a sort of homeopathic cure I am undergoing, though I am not certain what this cure is meant to mend. Perhaps I am learning to live amongst the living again. Practicing, I mean. But no, that's not it. Being here is just a way of not being anywhere.
