When I became Comfortably Numb

I feel so light as if the gravity has gone out of existence. I can't walk straight but I am able to think straighter. I am completely in control it seems. For the first time in life I am making sense, dammit! Whatever I am telling you I am not afraid of the consequences because I know that I am completely in control. You don't seem to be taking it badly either. You don't seem to be thinking that I am stupid. Well, you are completely right. I completely know what I am doing. I have never spoken like this to anyone before. Things seem a lot better like this. You seem to be listening to me very intently. It is not a serious talk, is it? The thing is I have not talked a lot before and so the sensible things are still in store, accumulated over time. There is a lot of stupidity too but that is for later. You, on the other hand have completely finished your quota. No, I am not saying that you are talking stupid. Actually I don't care what others are talking today. I only want to listen to myself speaking. I have heard you a lot of times but myself, it is rare. Well that reminds me of a Pink Floyd lyric-

" There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smokes on the horizon.
Your lips move but I can't here what you're saying
You are only coming through in waves."

And now I get the complete significance of it. Today I feel the same. Today I feel "Comfortably Numb". Waters must have felt the same sometime in his life. See, this is what psychedelia is all about. You feel it and then you sing it. Aah, see I started talking stupid again. I get totally carried away at the mention of Pink Floyd. Well yes I myself mentioned it but you should have stopped me. You look transfixed at something. Whom are you looking at? There is no one in that direction. Hey there, are you listening? Why have you closed your eyes now? Did I bore you so much? Wake up, dude!

Dammit! you were yourself high all this time, weren't you? What was I thinking! You had to be out of your mind to listen to me.
