I have inspected all screens.
I have taped the edges of windows.
I have secured all the doors.
I have assembled fly traps and killers.

Hoping to catch you.

But here you are, still.
Still here from the very beginning.
You sneaky mosquito.
You little fellow.

Haaa! I weighed like the champion in your absence.
Or so I thought that you were all gone.
Maybe all that triumph was just a false pretense.
Have I known that you were still there,
hiding during daytime,
or escaping my scrutiny,
I should have built my walls an inch thicker,
sprayed repellents all over my place–
twice
or even a thousand times with such obsessive compulsiveness
until I see you breathing your last huff and puff.

But Alas, here you are.
Still.
Circling my ears as I lay still
Over and over.
Buzzing the same sounds.
Whispering demons,
cutting my sleep.

You sneaky mosquito.

  1. Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thank you

  2. Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Cheers

  3. Hi I am so delighted I found your website, I really found you by accident, while I was researching on Yahoo for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a tremendous post and a all round thrilling blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the moment but I have book-marked it and also included your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the superb job.
