Sleeping
As long as it doesn’t rip during
the night and strangle us it’s alright…
Dangerous things happen at night
from hearing ghostly whispers to
branches scratching the house…
Ghostly shadows on the walls,
seeing things that aren’t there…
Wouldn’t it look strange in the newspaper?
“Couple Strangled At Night By Sheet”…
Be very careful when you sleep…
