he feels

like an empty jar discarded by the wayside thrown into space waiting to be recycled by a kind soul the label has weathered apart from the bit stating the best before date which seems long in the past while the future is undecipherable and yet it contains weary promise and hope to be refilled and put to good purpose and meaning through meditation and prayer in order to obtain mindfulness slowly he retrieves himself from gloom and oblivion as he wakes up it dawns on him that he had been dreaming but at least now he resides in the jar 21st November 2023
