?

seeing the carpet up close.
thinking of being
too close to those
minuscule,
feared
mites.

too close, they could fly up my nostrils and up
into my mind.

i saw them on t.v. once.
they don't go away.
damn, so much is too invisible
too little
and scary

it gives me anxiety
that i'm just as small.
who's nose am I going to discover
some

day
night
