Diagnosis in the Dark

At 2:47 your phone was a mouth

feeding you other people's dying.

A woman named Sarah had it too—

the tightness, the left arm going numb at 3am,

and then she didn't have a left arm anymore.

You put your hand on your chest.

Your heartbeat feels wrong now that you've read

what wrong looks like. The search bar still glows.

Your finger hovers. Related searches. More accounts.

More proof that your body is a thing

that can turn on you between one breath

and the next.

You don't know if the tightness was there before

or if you typed it into existence.

The cursor blinks. One more link.

One more person who felt this and then

stopped feeling anything at all.
