I Saw a Tiger Yesterday

I saw a tiger roaming the streets
Yesterday.
In the city.
Looking for a bus stop.

Hallucinogens in my cereal?
Quite the bowl of Lucky Charms:
Sometimes I think I've lost my mind
Sitting at those long-A stop lights.

I was on my phone, flipping through Facebook.
Somebody's baby dancing, family photos,
Praisin' Jesus, diet plans and rock jams...
And then I looked up.

A tiger? A TIGER? No, no way.
Blink, blink again, rubbing my eyes...
Some days I feel like I've finally done it--
Fallen over the edge of the cliff and

Lost my mind. Definitely.
Calling into work, need a mental health day;
This girl needs a therapist.
Because this CAN'T be reality.

(Right...?!?!)
