Realism

Do you notice?
In every unreality,
People read minds.

Every lie is transparent,
They call every bluff,
"You're not okay," they insist.
As if you didn't know.

But if you deign to test
The real world, 
of course

They are 
Completely
Oblivious
Always

Stop reading my mind.
You make me second-guess.
Are you real?
