The Last Moorish King

Bubble Gum Boy

I am a bubble boy. Isolated from the rest of the world by these tick glass walls. I have no disease whatsoever that forces me to keep apart from my fellow species mates. I do breathe as any one of them. And yet, I feel as if I am different. One of the edges of a Gaussian curve.

The good part of bubble isolation that you can communicate with them, and yet none of theirs filthiness can touch me. No germs or bacteria, smoke or bad breath, and even their less-than-caveman ideas seem to soften through the glass and hit gently into my mind.

And it is a nice feeling to be aside. It seems to me as all the burden of living as vanished. Although I breed and I feel pain, my senses are numb. I am an ethereal body, whose main concern is to nurture myself. Keep me alive to continue observing.

That was how I felt in that night, at the pub. That is how I been feeling for the last weeks. I am the Observer. And they are all inside the bubble.
