How I Felt a Few Days After Returning From Morocco

I feel like I'm on the outside of the world looking in while I am unemployed.

I focus on the right now question. What is happening right now? The chicken is baking. The piano is silent. The house is full of expensive, cold air that insulates me from the summer I can see and hear out the windows, though it is all muffled by this air conditioning. The air is so conditioned that it conditions me.

The kitchen smells like onions and lime, waiting for the chicken to be finished. I salivate: when did I last eat a meal? Where have I been the last few days and weeks?

I have never traveled this far before, and I feel lost.
