\none of the good ones?
\nThe rule is, some people say,
\nyou don\u2019t notice anything exactly but
\nyou get a sort of unusual
\nfloating feeling
\nand carried along feeling
\nlike a leaf on a stream, let\u2019s say,
\nand some sense
\nof an incursion
\nof ongoing unreality,
\nalthough each thing and event is joined to the next,
\nbut it doesn\u2019t really
\ntake the centre of your attention<\/p>\n
\nhard to define,
\nbut quite definite
\njust
\nafterwards
\nwhen it\u2019s finished<\/p>\n
\nyou pat for your reassuring wallet
\nand find you don\u2019t
\nactually, even, any more
\npossess trousers.<\/p>\n
