Saving Me From My Imagination

Sophie dog is bark-crying, howling in consternation As if robbers with machetes are in the closets As if home invaders have slept under our beds. As if sixteen escaped convicts are eating her bologna. As if someone is approaching with two assault rifles. As if a SWAT team is getting ready to break down our windows. Someone knocks on the front door and I jump straight up to the ceiling. Amazon delivery.
