translation: sensory experience to knowledge
Tick
Laughing at the memory of an anxiety inducing experience
Tock
I feel light and airy
Tick
the conversation deepens
Tock
Guttural laughter transforms into watery eyes
Tick
New revelations.
Tock
New meanings.
Tick
New understandings.
Tock
I never thought of it this way before. It makes perfect sense.
Tick
My heart knew it.
Tock
My chest feels heavy.
Tick
A sigh of relief. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Tock
It didn't piss them off.
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tock
Tick
Tick
The heaviness lifts.
Tock
I look into their eyes
Tick
....glassy
Tock
My throat tightens
Tick
My chest feels heavy
Tick
Our eyes lock. A deeper look. A recognition
Tock
Slight smiles.
Tick
Again the weight lifts.
Tock
But it didn’t leave, it’s looming above.
Tick
Ready to drop.
