the skin of my teeth

as it whisked away..
i saw nothing but darkness.
and the world was black

in those split seconds
where did i go..

the body,... giving-in to laws of biology

the soul experimenting a momentary liberation

minutes later i was shaken back to life

in the aftermath,

i realized
i made a trip and i didn't catch any tour details
no scenery no pleasantries..

i was 'out of body' but there was no 'experience'

wouln't want to go that trip again..
a bone-chilling memory, that trip

what if..
