Now They’re Saying Isolation Atrophies The Mind

“Talking to yourself in an empty room sometimes feels like prayer but isn’t.

It isn’t prayer if you’re not asking for anything, and what would you ask for?

Any request more specific than save me would be so granular as to be worthless.

It can’t be prayer if you’re standing at your kitchen counter, wearing an apron

and a far-off look. It can’t be prayer if you’re walking in your neighborhood,

muttering to yourself, while Orion keeps buckling and unbuckling his belt

over the houses. It can’t be prayer if you have the expectation of privacy. If you think

no one’s listening. As a child I believed so fiercely in the power of my own mind,

when I thought apple, I half-expected a real one, large and red, to appear

in my hand. Now I know better. I talk to myself. Sometimes I even answer.”

— Maggie Smith (“A Suit Or a Suitcase”)

I am the cat on the floor in front of you, begging for a taste of the wine in your hand, not realising that I cannot have it, that it would be poison to me, and you are god, waving it in front of me, explaining that I can’t have it, but I don’t speak your language, all I see is my god, holding the thing I want most in the world directly in front of me and speaking in beautiful foreign tongues.
