Bus stopping
I was waiting for the bus.  I had a "green" shopping bag filled with a bottle of vodka, bottle of coke and dog food.  I placed it in the snow bank.  As I waited for the bus I paced and strayed from the bag.  But there was an undeniable connection to the bag.  I then thought about someone in a similar situation who might have seen their approaching bus, boarded and shipped off.  Easily this person could have left their bag of alcohol and dog food behind.  But not me.  I feel a connection.  It's almost as if a string is tied to my arm and also to the bag.  We are connected.  There is no way I could see the bus approaching and board without an irresistible urge to drag my bag along.  And if I did board said bus without my bag I would go crazy.  I mean, I imagine myself getting on the bus; sitting down, watching the doors close and speeding off.  I imagine myself very quickly decomposing.  I don't know what would happen.  I might lose it.  I NEED that bag.  I cannot leave it and if I did I would lose my shit.  The need to have it with me and the fact that it cannot be would fuck me up.  And to what extent that would happen I do not know because I would never let that happen.  A touretter would not watch the bag disappear.  It would never happen.  That bag is mentally connected to me in a way that no "normal" can understand.
