요즘..

아침에 잠이 깨기 시작할 무렵이 하루 일과중 가장 공포감에 휩싸이는 순간이다.

잠에서 깨어나 새날을 맞이하려는 그 시각.

그날 소화해야 할 일 몇 가지가 머리속에 스쳐가는 게, 아니라...

몸의 어느 부분이 쑤시는 것을 보니, 이 노릇을 오래 하지 못할 것 같다는 불길한 예감.

치명적인 병을 감추고 있는 몸. 그것이 바로 내 몸 상태가 아닐까 하는 무의식 저 밑의 공포....

그런데, 반전은 일단 기상하여 하루의 궤도에 진입했을 때이다.

불길한 예감 같은 확신없는 공포 따위는 까마득히 사라지고,

희망도 딱히 없지만, 절망 또한 하지 않는 어쩌면

아무생각없는 사람처럼 하루를 굴리고 있다.

내 머릿속처럼 뒤죽박죽인 정리 안 된 서랍 따위가 가끔 거치적거릴 뿐...

시장기

분명 저녁을 구내 식당에서 먹었는데,,,

폭폭 퍼먹었는데,

콩나물국에 김치하고 깻잎하고

찬은 그래도

밥은 뿌듯이 가득 먹었다.

저녁 밥 먹은지 한 시간 남짓 흘렀는데,,,

어디선가 내 자리까지 맡아지는 김치볶음밥 냄새 땜에~

시장기가 다시 밀려오는 저녁이다.

운동량이 없어서,,, 배가 쉬이 꺼질 일이 없는데,,

정신적 허기를 위장의 허기로 착각하고 있는고야..
