A Masked Life

Venice Through the Mask's Eyes 5 by Alex Levin

Lately I feel as though I am looking at the world through a mask. That old feeling of disconnection is back. It's how my mind/body handle stress. I am good under pressure, but after prolonged exposure, I function by floating above the fray. It feels like I am the pilot of an unmanned human. It's been some time since I had this feeling,and this time it crept up on me sneakily. I am in it now and wonder how long it will be before I rejoin the human race. When it has me, I guess it doesn't matter. 

Time to go through the motions...
