That reindeer serving sandwiches
in the cafe is not a real reindeer.
It’s just a man dressed as a reindeer.
I can tell because it doesn’t have four legs
and reindeers don’t have hands to hold trays.
It’s not a real reindeer. Reindeers work with Santa.
It’s just a man delivering sandwiches
while dressed as a reindeer
and it’s very important I understand
what is real and what is not
because I am still developing the ability to trust
and that man is not a real reindeer.
