Seven, 6, Five

Everything you thought was normal isn't.
And all the things you thought were 
strange-march from the room like words 
disappearing off the end of a line 
and appearing on the next one...
disappearing off the end of a line 
gradually feels normal, suddenly.

Orange sunsets won't tell, and that
is all the things you think were strange.
The teddy bears up and leave
taking their pink jelly legs with them
as life goes in on itself
while we all turn into Kafka's beetle.

Don't despair if others share similar 
thoughts as the legs of this thing close in.
They're collected in a consciousness hose
and displaced over everyone
like wind-blown dandelion seeds.
