PERSONA NON GRATA
It's funny how the Rocking Chair
Keeps nodding at the Clock,
And how the Doorknobs turn and stare
Whenever Groceries knock.
I can't believe how Piano Bench
Keeps pinning down the Rug,
Insisting that it shall not wrench
Nor shall it bunch or shrug.
The Pillows on the Couch pretend
To be oblivious,
To winks the Television sends
That seem lascivious.
And strange it is that standing there
Attending to their Shelf,
The Books have all begun to leer
As if I'm not myself.
