coming off a high is like

slamming the brakes and blinking twice
waving at friends who never recognize your face
slipping on a muddy ledge, then catching yourself before sprinting on
sweating through a nightmare
then waking to the blaring beep of an alarm clock
feeling emotions click then calm, rush then hush
making a conscience effort to remember
then fading off to sleep
not knowing when these sentiments will awake again
