[ 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?
