"The Night Rod Sterling Appeard In My Bedroom"

(For Those who don't know rod sterling
was the creator of the cult Sci-fi series
The Twilight Zone
sometimes he appears in my bedroom)  
 
I awake from my slumber  
its the middle of the night  
cold sweat cascades in to my dry lips  
through sleepy eyes  
i make out a image in the corner of the bedroom  
a figure stands by the doorway  
wearing a black suit, white shirt well groomed  
smoking a cigarette  
this was the night rod sterling appeared in my bedroom.  
the light had dimmed to dark  
this room has become a womb  
Mr sterling leans over to whisper in my ear  
i sweat fear as the twilight zone theme music  
appeared from nowhere.  
his mouth opens,  
he begins to whisper his opening monologue  
"MEET MARCUS A MAN ALONE,  
HAVING BEEN RUDELY AWAKEN HE..."  
i jump from the bed grabbing my dressing gown  
i fall down the stairs straight down,  
like Alice in the rabbit hole.  
 
I fiddle with keys,  
i get to my car  
with rod sterling pursuing  
i probably wont get far.  
key in the ignition i drive as fast as i can  
i look in the rare view mirror  
rod sterling sits in the back seat  
casually smoking a cigarette he starts to speak  
"MEET MARCUS A MAN ALONE,  
HAVING BEEN RUDELY AWAKEN  
BY A SINISTER YET  
FAMILIAR STRANGER HE... "  
i put on the breaks my mission is clear  
i run to my girlfriends flat which is near  
i buzz the door with my shaking hand  
i look over my shoulder and see not 1 but 10  
rod sterling's heading in my direction.  
 
The door opens i run upstairs in to the open arms  
of my intended  
She says "what the matter, this better be good?"  
"rod sterling is following me,  
if he finishes his monologue  
im finished"  
She reply's  "have you been smoking?  
"Ive been asleep,dreaming about  
scissor people and furry rabbits" i said.  
We kiss and just like that everything is better.  
I look in to her eyes but they are her eyes no longer  
rod sterling stares back at me.  
 
My girlfriend has become rod sterling  
she has become well groomed, smoking a cigarette  
i run for the door,  but escape to where?  
i try the window it opens but outside lie a hundred  
rod sterling's camped outside he is everybody  
i put my fingers in my ears as they recite in unison  
"MEET MARCUS A MAN ALONE,  
HAVING BEEN RUDELY AWAKEN  
BY A SINISTER YET FAMILIAR STRANGER,  
MARCUS IS ABOUT TO DISCOVER  
THAT HE IS NEVER ALONE  
ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE TWILIGHT ZONE"  
I catch  my reflection but it is not my own  
i have become rod sterling well dressed,  
well groomed and smoking a cigarette.  
 
"My sweat had turned to fear,  
but there was no need to worry  
i am never alone, everyone is me,  
and i am everyone.  
My blood has boiled straight through the bone  
its what i had always suspected  
my life is a lost episode of the twilight zone"
