(20) March 15, 2010: Persona Non Grata

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.
