You know that feeling
mind is reeling
you are everywhere but
here
faces, voices, eyes alluding
to the "one over there"
the one intruding
and you check your palms
sweaty lines
tell the signs
this is not your home
but you enter anyway
we all do
enter houses that feel like itchy wool sweaters
and it's uncomfortable and you're not even sure you like it
but you tell others you've never been better

but you enter anyway
we all do
enter houses that feel like itchy wool sweaters
and it's uncomfortable and you're not even sure you like it
