Borders

[image error] Lie on the ground and put your ear to the floor, if you live in an apartment block. If not, put an ear to the wall and listen to your neighbours. If you have no neighbours or you live in a detached house then please smeg off you are ruining my exercise. So whichever category you fall in to, do it.
Bang! World shattered. Your view of the world just changed incredibly. Before it was just you in your tiny little corner of the universe doing your thing (you know, snorting Tabasco, worshipping Satan, skinning grapes endlessly until the sun arises, the normal stuff) and now there is a whole other world below you. Equally weird and equally f'd up.
Listen as your neighbour hacks up a lump of phlegm, be entranced as the parents yell at their kids for seeing if cream bagels will play in the DVD player. It's funny because you only hear the loud exaggerated stuff. A lot of it is bodily functions. Strange how that always gets through. However, inside their heads things are just as massive and messy as inside your head. Your world has doubled its craziness.
Then, when your cat starts using you as a trampoline it's probably time to get back up and go back to your little world. That other world is still there but you don't have to think about it now.
What other worlds are right there with us? Maybe they are massive and immaterial or just invisible. Maybe they are just so small we can't see them, but they are probably there. How many stories could you tell about that world?
