Darkness surrounds me
not a sound in the air
I move quietly towards
my final destination
Without waking a soul
I slither past
the open doorways
If I were to be spotted
doom would be upon me
a soft rattle at the window
I stop suddenly
holding my breath
clutching my chest
as my heart pounds
no one must awaken
I crouch down slowly
and inch my way
finally it's within my grasp
the bag of oreos atop
the kitchen counter
I devour my savory reward
Yet the next morning
my mom would see
the empty bag
and then of course
I would get in trouble.
