there is no way to tell
where this thing might go

you can switch off the light,
hop into the bed.
you can pull up the sheets
right above your head.

they will not go away.
they will be right there.
monsters beneath the bed,
and behind the chair.

you think you are too old?
and now they will leave?
monsters are even there,
if you don't believe.
