[ SK ] What Are The Odds?

       
Psychiatrists ... pffffft!      
       
They think they know everything!      
       
Nora was no exception      
       
We waste lifetimes running away    
from this and that personal demon      
       
Although some do catch up to
us           
---that's when ...
     
       
One day you're asleep      
dreaming; next, on your back      
screaming, handcuffed to the bed      
Hubby's door-nail dead      
What are the odds of this      
happening?      
       
God's bent on being so cruel      
Seems a Universal rule:      
when it rains, it fucking pours      
cats and dogs on the scent      
running rampant indoors      
       
What are the odds      
a stranger in the room      
rattlles a box of treasures      
anticipating a wedding heirloom?      
       
Will you die today?      
Give your virginity away      
---to a necrophiliac?      
       
As you lie there on your back      
screaming, hallucinating      
a dark scored nightmare so surreal      
       
it's hardly believable;         
pinch yourself---         
do you feel?      
       
What are the odds      
that this is real?      
       
Is all of this real?      
       
How in the world could  
any and all of this be      
real?
