Sometimes you come to the end of yourself. Literally.

You dissolve; you melt. You cease to be.

And then somehow in the chaos and darkness, that exists just for a moment or two, you recoalesce. Coagulate like out of the Terminator movies.

In a twinkling, in just a flash, you’re new. And you don’t recognize yourself. And neither does anyone else.

World goes by. There was silence while you were gone. You didn’t say anything for a long time. We noticed. Where have you been??

You became PHOENIX. And no one noticed. And you don’t know how to explain.
