Events flow through my head
faucets spontaneously spray
memories over my feet
Frogs jump out of the pool
What seemed so ordinary
is now demonstrating
and keeping me awake
Smashing the window panes
I hide behind the lace curtain
Shadows beat the drum
They live on the street
and declare me guilty
I am no longer safe
from the straight faces
and the doubts of my family
They slink through the house
