open my eyes

it's dark inside

wherever I've been thrown

I peek my head 

out from under

a blue striped bed 

I see the giant 

coming towards me

scared he's seen me

so scared now

where will I be thrown

next?

which giant will own me 

next?

a huge sweaty hand reaches for me

but I slip away

under the bed again

creak goes the floor and

I can see the giant's head

big blue eyes back and forth

looking for me in the dark

he mumbles and I get a whiff

of morning breath

(geez, this guy needs to brush his teeth)

I can't see his face anymore

just socks

receding

I can relax now

I think

maybe not

he's coming back 

dirty socks and morning breath

towards the edge of the bed 

I can see his face again

and then

a blinding flash of light in my face

he has found me

I'm swiped up in the air

"aha!" says the giant

I am shoved into his pocket

where it smells like dust

movement

so much movement

too much movement

I am sick

I cannot stay awake much longer

the last thing I remember is being taken

out into the light again

goodbye to

dirty socks and morning breath

hello to a new giant
