Bugs on your chair, bugs in your hair.

Remember my critter problem?
Yeah, it's been messing with my head quite a bit.
Since I found out that we have the little buggers crawling around our apartment, I've been imagining that I can feel them on me.
Every time my foot itches, I think there's a bug crawling across it.
If my pants touch my leg weird, I think there's one traveling up my legs.
The dark spots on the hard wood floor ALL look like they're moving, even though I know they're not.
It's a good thing that I sleep on the top bunk, or I'd never get any rest at all.
If I slept on the floor--like my fearless roommate--I would currently be an insomniac.
Which would be unfortunate, since I love sleeping so much.
I just don't like bugs.

sometimes

when i see a girl
with a scarf
wrapped tightly
around her neck,
it scares me.
and i wonder,
if she removed said scarf,
would her head fall off?

then i realize,
those things only happen

in a
dark,
dark
house,

in the
dark,
dark
woods.

and her scarf isn't green.
