Little Black Dot

some of you may know i had my wisdom teeth out today.
some of you may know i was deep-sedated and some of you may know i do not particularly like the idea of being deep-sedated. the mind turned off. losing time.

but it wasn't, really. i didn't, really. actually, i wonder if time moved at all, because

the last thing i can remember before i went under is two brick chimneys through the window, one crow on each chimney,
the two crows talking.
and the first thing i saw when i woke up were two chimneys through the window, one crow on each chimney,
the two crows talking.

"how are you feeling?" says the nurse.
"i had some really nice meditations," i say, coming to.
