you wake up
in the wrong house.
the shoes
don't fit.
the clothes
are too large.
the walls are blue
not green.
there is a stranger
sleeping
beside you.
even the dog
who hops
on the bed
and barks is
different.
the children
in the other room
are laughing.
they sound happy.
you don't recognize
their voices.
your new wife
rolls over and
smiles at you.
she says
good morning
sweetheart.
then with her finger
on her lips,
she whispers,
go lock the door.
you like
this new life
you've stumbled
into.
