Sneaky Creatures

Sneaky creatures live in my house

They slip from room to room

I hear them all around

And when I focus and try to think a bit

Ambitious or curious, they seize the moment

A sense of doom will creep into the room and then

Oh no!

It's too quiet!

Whatcha doin', love? It's too quiet!

I feel them watching me

They hope that I'll forget

Lull me with placidness

Kill me with quiet.
