Blackout Poetry- Surreal

He shakes his head 
against the linoleum.
I watch him rinse his mug 
with my eyes closed 
before the sound of the mug 
shatters into pieces 
just like the occasion.
I stare at him for a moment, 
a ghost.
I thought I heard him 
raise his eyebrows.
I just dropped my head.
"You're not real. You're dead."
