Detachment

While outside, I have this feeling of separation from the concrete, the tangible. Everything seems filtered through a lens, as if I am viewing a memory or a dream. The morning commuters are usually perfect examples of realism, but to me they take on a film-noir tone. Their faces are obscured or expressionless masks. Vapor rises from the exhaust of a truck. Colors are dampened by the rain. Raindrops fall on the windshield. There are no details, only impressions. I am there, looking, hearing, smelling, but I feel like the present is already a memory, already fading, soon forgotten.

These are my thoughts. They were my thoughts, but now they are memories. They were memories, but now they are uncertainties. They were uncertainties, but now they are nothing.
