Oh how you torment me, stealth denizen of the lower regions. You appear where I least expect—in my closet 'neath my clothes; in my bathroom, below the sink. Sometimes I'll even awake to find that you've crept into bed with me, your thin crispness clinging to the sole of my foot. How do you escape the tight, hungry bristles of my broom? Is it a game for you? Or is it merely revenge for having been plucked from the earth, deprived of your natural fate by the dictates of culinary convention?
