"Are you there? Do you care?"

I am here ... but where is here?

How long will I float 'til my

Portable life-support system gives out?

Why did I step out "here"?

Because nothing else seemed real

And all else was nothingness too.

But now, too late, I feel a Something ...

No, my life isn't flashing before me,

No panic either

Just ... regrets

If only I'd listened ...
