He walked into the room
Looked at the blank wall
Then
Started having a conversation
With an non existing person
Which was just the wall
He then turned
And
Introduced me to the wall
What could I do?
“Hello, how are you?”

Most folks wake up peacefully
She abruptly wakes up shaking and nauseated
Sometimes dry heaving
Reaching for that magical pill to calm everything down
Will it work this morning?
She sits up in her bed waiting for the nerves to settle down
Careful not to fall back asleep
One hour goes by
The body settles down
Surviving another morning
Apprehensive
She struggles until the next dosage
