Tea leaves

The itch has given way to a pervading numbness.  The simplest tasks seem fraught with a level of complication I cannot bear to confront.  But lying in bed is no longer an option.  I need to rise, move, breathe the late summer air.  So I get out of bed and shower, resentfully, hating the world and everything in it.  I dress and walk out, heading nowhere in particular but suspecting that I'll end up with a cup of coffee and a desire to return home quickly.

I can barely stand my own existence at this moment.
