Close your eyes, what do you see? <br /> Nothing.<br /> Put the palm of your hands up to your ears, what do you hear?<br /> Nothing.<br /> Try again.

The tongue of the carpet licked my feet
Lush texture biting at my feet
I stepped
And stepped again
My heels just seeping in
Sticking, molding, melting
In it like a sap on a tree
It tickled.
