Codependence

I am living in a white rabbit world where people drink each other's tea because the other person is thirsty. A place where mirrors look for their reflection in us, so it is hard to know when to comb my hair, or even if I have any. I ask the person beside me how my hair looks and she gazes lovingly into my eyes trying to guess what I want him to say.

If my grass is too long, I mow yours. If the walk needs sweeping, I water the flowers. The cockatiel eats popcorn and the dog cries like a baby.

Every night we lock the doors and seal the windows and I'm not sure if it is to keep you out, or me in.

Shoes are removed at the door and smiles put on by the phone. The dog shares my bed, the alarm clock shares yours and in the morning the little cotton tail eats the flowers, so I sweep the walk when you unlock the doors and the Healthy Environment Truck picks up all the empty cups.

Now I don't know what I will drink out of when you get thirsty.
