It’s cold here, and bleak.
They say not even love is real anymore. Some of them anyway.
There’s so much noise here it’s hard to hear anything.
As the TV blares the day’s grand dramas, I hear you sneeze.
Who knows what’s real?
Either way, I have what I want.

I love the contrast with the TV bad news of the day and the sneeze from the other room. It’s hard to tell what is, indeed, real.
