Feeling

Like a puppet on a string.
And I am supposed to dance.
(DANCE monkey DANCE!)
To no music.
With no movement.

But I think I am dancing - I even think I've got moves.

And apparently I am not moving at all.

Like those long afternoon naps.
When you think you woke up 5 minutes ago, but you are still sleeping.

Yet, you are convinced you have fully awakened, and you are going on with your life.

Only to have someone walk in and wake you and prove you wrong with a rude actual awakening.

Anyhoo, not sure if you can relate, but my afternoon naps happen like that.
