Janetta Harrington Poet Narrative

Rewired and Recalibrated

don't know what happened 
when i was under that vent
for all those days
something
is strange.

i like mustard on my
salad.  i hate diet cokes.
i don't like to eat the
things i used to and
it is frustrated me and
my family.

i don't like my clothes.
i asked my friend is this
all we used to do watch
t.v. and discuss what
comes on next.  "BORING"

i want to get up and clean
but my body won't mind 
me yet.

here is what i really want
to say, i feel nothing.
nothing for people i
once was caring and
worried about.  my
emotions are gone.

will i ever get them
back?  who am i 
now?
