The cat hairs cover the sheets of the bed. I try to get a nap.
My mind races to the burdens of the moment. It will not take a time out.
The short nap becomes a long restless wait of thinking
and hoping to get some shut eye.
But instead, I think of the day and breathe the nearby cat hairs.
And one hair in particular aggravates my left nostril.
I wiggle my nose and put my finger in it and up it and give it a whirl.
Off and on, it continues to tickle me. An hour plus goes by
and I get up and change the sheets and pillow case.
Clear of the hairs and no cat nearby.
I try another go for a nap, but unsuccessful again.
The stress eats me up.
And the same spot in my nose triggers an itch.
It can't be the same cat hair or a new one exactly in the same spot, I wondered.
My thought geared toward a microscopic worm
finding comfort with soft tissue like a booger.
