He didn’t quite know what to do with himself.<\/p>\n
They don’t teach disembodiment in school,<\/p>\n
or church, in University classrooms,<\/p>\n
or in 12 step meetings.<\/p>\n
His parents never said a word.<\/p>\n
At first he didn’t know anything had happened.<\/p>\n
The truth began to present itself<\/p>\n
pretty quickly.<\/p>\n
Walls that could be moved through.<\/p>\n
Friends and family who didn’t answer.<\/p>\n
The change was abrupt.<\/p>\n
The adapting took much longer.<\/p>\n
Flying, interacting.<\/p>\n
Avoiding the evil ones.<\/p>\n
Helping the young ones.<\/p>\n
Making friends only to have them disappear.<\/p>\n
There’s a learning curve.<\/p>\n
He wished there was a class to attend.<\/p>\n
Flying was clunky when you didn’t know how.<\/p>\n
Not having a body was a struggle.<\/p>\n
The transformation hard to maneuver.<\/p>\n
The future increasingly uncertain.<\/p>\n
It was much harder being disembodied,<\/p>\n
than it looks in the movies.<\/p>\n
