the girl who passes through life in a daze

sometimes i am blown away by the ability of my mind to space out/daydream
this has happened to me before,
a couple of times in singapore,
and today on the tram back home.

i was just staring out of the window,
letting my mind wander.
i knew that i was going to get off at tram stop 42,
which was like another 3 stops away.
the next thing i know,
the tram is whizzing past my stop,
and nothing in front of me looks familiar.
i awaken from my drunken stupor,
and said "shit"!
it was as though someone magically cast a spell onto me,
and i was absorbed in my own mindless wonderland.

an old friend gave me a postcard once with my name on it,
it was written there that "Jennifer" meant a girl who passes through life in a daze.
that pretty sums me up.
