"beauty is truth, truth beauty" - john keats


the busy world, always occupied, surrounds me; I am not quite here
not quite in the yesterday of my mind,

now, nor ever, for that matter
my house is so often occupied by unexpected guests

embarrassing because I never clean
can barely speak

embarrassing to look a stranger in the eye
I have finally told my secret

but I do not feel relieved;
now I must decide what to do,

it is hard to tell if I am reasonable,
do they believe me?
