Bodyless

A string jerks. An arm lifts up to grasp a pen, and make meaningless doodles on a scrap of paper.
Another string jerks. The lips move. A fake smile is born, more mindless chatter issues forth.
It seems like a perfectly normal body on a perfectly normal workday in a perfectly normal world.
Body goes on. Mind takes a leave of absence. Spirit curls up under the covers and refuses to come out. Soul sits vacant-eyed, wondering where the hell Life went.
Something might be alive in there. Dare to look? Yep, can see something moving, oh yeah, its there. Come on out, come on. Hey it can't possibly be worse out here than it is in there, can it?
Can't I take the strings for a while?
Ever get the feeling your body isn't yours?
