Do you ever?

Do you ever find yourself staring at something - it might be something totally mundane, like the cracks in the pavement, the scuff-marks on the wall, the steady trickle of water from the garden hose - and you are unable to look away? And the more you stare the more you can't stop looking and it's as though the thing you are looking at is growing and swelling, until it is all you can see? And then you feel like you are Alice-in-Wonderland, and your body is shrinking and growing until you are not sure quite where you begin and end, or how exactly you exist in relation to the thing you're looking at?
