the quiet man next door....

out of focus -
can i trust what i am seeing?
tonal distortion -
i don't believe what i am hearing
have i come to my senses and am
only now joining reality 
or am i truly the only 
sane human left on the planet.
letters still form words,
but the words link to form 
sentences and paragraphs with 
no context that i can grasp.
i see people smiling and laughing,
but as if seen in the reflection
of a fun house mirror, 
the smiles are distorted,
the people looking like they 
are screaming in the throws of
some hideous, unimaginable agony.
someone speaks to me,
the voice twisted, 
horribly alien.
at home, only my dog speaks to me
saying over and over
you have to do it,
you must do it.
i believe he is right,
i can bear it no longer...
i have checked,
the gun is loaded...
