Wandering the rainy streets
I hear a voice “Hey!”
I turn to look
I don't recognize his face
“I finally found you.”
I look at him blankly
“Hey. Hey!”
He steps forward
As panic ensues
I don't know why
I don't know who
“Ben.” He calls
“Ben, are you okay?”
“Who's Ben?” I say
He looks startled for a moment
Then he gives a hallow laugh
“Very funny.” He says
“Now, c'mon. Cut the crap.
We're gonna miss our flight.”
As he step forward again
My chest gets tight
I back away, not knowing why
Something's not right
As a tear leaves my eye
“Ben. What the hell's a matterwith you?”
The man continues to prod
Suddenly, I feel the urge to run
It's odd...
I begin to run down the busy street
As if my legs are doing it all on theirown
I almost feels like I'm running home
But I don't even know where home is...
“Ben!” The guy shouts, notgiving in
He's chasing after me
Like it's a battle for his soul
Who is he?
Who am I?
One look at him and I feel cold
“I don't know a Ben.” Ireply loud
I don't mean to say it
It just came out
“Stop following me!” Icontinue
His face goes pale as he's keeping pace
What the hell is happening today?
“Ben!” He calls one lasttime
As on instinct I swipe my hand
Suddenly, a wall confines
Putting some distance between him andme
The crowd on the street in awe
Wondering what they hell they've justseen
I'm curious too
“Did... I do that?” Iwonder aloud
As more people shuffle in
Forming a crowd
I begin to run again
Some how knowing the way
To home– To a comforting place
Confused and afraid
No memories I canrecall
A part of me feelsliberated...
Like I'm ten feettall
It feels like I'venever been more alive
Then there's this“V”...
No...The roman numeral Five
