Standardized
For the fourth time
But it didn’t help
Her make sense
For the fourth time
But it didn’t help
Her make sense
What was
Didn’t matter
She felt
Her meaning
Reduced
Like a fraction
No remainder.

Bombarded by a steady stream of data, demands, and decisions, she felt fragmented—uncertain of herself and even less certain of her place in the current universe. She wished that a pause button would induce a state of suspended animation, creating a conceptual place outside the fabric of space-time where she could recompose herself. In that space she would collect and consider pieces of herself. She would sift, sort, synthesize, reshape, and revise her thoughts, her life, and herself there.
What was
Didn’t matter
She felt
Her meaning
Reduced
Like a fraction
No remainder.
