The Leader of None

The other night 
When I shut off the light
I heard a rumble
Like a stampede
Happening right
under my feet
It shook my body and
rattled my teeth
All of a sudden I found
Myself alone in a crowd
Of white faces with
No eyes and no ears
Just big mouths
Among them
A bigger one stood out 
speaking foreign words 
Germinating plenty of doubts
Quickly they all gathered 
around me tightly 
forcing me to nosedive 
into a turquoise puddle 
they had poured on my floor
Right in front of my bedroom door
They called it the Unknown
Chanting and humming
They welcomed me as the
New leader of none
And as quickly as they had come
I blinked and they were gone
