The Knock of Reality

Knock, Knock. Will you answer?

Knock, Knock

Hello, it is Reality

Knowing you didn’t want to see me

 

You hide

Thoughts collide

Piling on distractions

Books, Movies, Work: multiple reactions

 

I know I am unwanted

That by me you feel haunted

But please, let me step inside

For one thing I truly am is real

Enabling you to truly feel

 

Pay attention

For stripes don’t match with plaid

Mismatch shoes, bed head: aren’t a new fad

Three times two doesn’t equal rainforest

Aren’t you glad my knocks struck up a chorus?

 

Please join me again

I’ll try not to be your bane
