If
you were to loan me your consciousness for a
Moment
or two, and I were to trade mine to you,
I
am certain that you and I would see the world
Differently.
And as you now, I would probably
Ache
with a pain I was not previously accustomed
To
feeling. Like you, I could probably walk lopsided
With
an arthritically-challenged gait. I may speak
More
or less emphatically than I did before. And likely,
I
may even perceive an alternate reality which I had
Not
before conceived when previously acting as me.
I
could look at you, the former me, eye to eye and
Wonder
why you squint a certain way or possibly
Ponder
the substance of what you, transformed as
Me,
had to say. This whole idea far supersedes the
“Walking
in another person’s shoes” bit, you see,
And
quite frankly I am most grateful that those stupid
Clogs
are on your feet and not mine. The new me sees
Them
as audaciously distasteful. And as me now, I sud-
Denly
realize just how confusing and obnoxious you may
Feel
a guy like me can really be.
Twisted
to say the least.
