Super Personal Experience

This is your-non-your life experience
You select a frame from the Deja vu stream.
You stop it,
consider carefully,
then you let it go and it moves forward again.
Sitting on a chair,
illuminated by the Mediterranean radiance,
you order a cup of coffee.
You taste the first sip for a long time,
you exhale deeply.
You open a fresh issue of the Herald Tribune,
you fit even more comfortably into your chair
and you watch the street over top of the newspaper.

You sniff different aromas:
brown paper, freshly baked baguette,
croissant with strawberry jelly,
espresso-latte-Americana - made with love.
You visualize a young lady,
carrying with outstanding elegancy:
straw hat,
a tiny touch of perfume
and a feeling of immense freedom
on her skinny, flexible body.
Dear Monica, in which book have we met before?

What is this state of consciousness called?
Hypnotic trance, super personal experience?
No matter what one might call it.
I'm fed up with silly questions!
It's high time to be happy.
