Don't Let the Bedbugs Bite

sometimes I have nightmares
i’m being eaten alive
something has pierced my skin
I feel like ripping it off
how long, will I
seal the walls
fill the cracks
tape it up don’t let the bedbugs bite
spray some Raid
on the floor
under your bed don’t let the bedbugs bite
60 million years ago
they were born into this world
remains among Egyptian artifacts
Greek and Roman empires
how long, will they live?
in my chair and in my couch
in my clothes and in my car
a host needed to help them breed
a blood meal for them too feed
how long, will I
seal the walls
fill the cracks
tape it up don’t let the bedbugs bite
spray some Raid
on the floor
under your bed don’t let the bedbugs bite
