And in this universe, that stillness still hunts us; of things just out of existence or use, who for a second, or less, see their worth has changed, or stopped.  And cannot quite taste what it means or grasp the gap - and that was where I next left off.  With a

"Did you sleep?"

a

"What's wrong with you?"

and a

"You look dreadful"

all summing up, the parts of others I clicked into.  If only for a night or two.

No one made me a cup of tea.  I guess no one thought of it; and I didn't feel able to help myself.
