It’s the kind of day
Where you just want to sit
In the air conditioning
All day.
The kind of day
Where you just want
To take a nap.

Tick
I get comfortable
On the love seat
And watch Mom’s
Solar powered flower
Dance from side to side
In the window sill.
I smile as a shut my eyes
And breathe in deeply
And steadily.
Tick
Tick
Tick
Tick
I toss and turn,
Feeling some sort
Of disturbance in the
Atmosphere.
Tick

Tick
Tick
My eyes snap open
And I see the tiny
Solar powered flower
Still dancing in the
Window sill.
Tick
Tick
Tick
Tick
I jump up,
Grab the stupid thing,
And throw it in a dark
Room.
Tick
Tick
…
Tick
…
…tick
I smile
And lay back down on the
Love seat.
But just as I’m about
To close my eyes,
I hear the faint noise
Of a
Tick
Tick
Tick
Tick
