Weirdos Like You

The entrance is
a portal to
a Mystery
wrapped in a fog cape.

But it’s a
Real Place.

Someone got in and
found
the first riffs to
that song you love.

Another daydreamed
their way in,
made some notes, and
wrote that book you’re reading
for the seventh time.

Someone else went in
empty-handed
and came out with
The Best Movie
You’ve Ever Seen.

Do you think
only a handful of
Chosen Ones
can find
The Secret Portal?

Weirdos like you
get in
all the time.
It’s possible to
live in there
for days.

But there’s this guy
near the entrance
wearing a nametag
that says:
“Get Real.”
He’s handing out
free maps.

Ignore him.
