I owe you a critique, but I'm not sure what to tell  you here. Usually only good for some prepositional pruning. 

you say I flatten myself
but what is two dimensional?
the other side of your wall
my hissing clan at rest -- hissing clan has got the c and s thing going, so that works. If they're hissing though, are they at rest? Plus at rest is redundant. Rest means the same thing right? at rest might sound better though.
until the floor reverberations smooth
TV glow we know
corridors of baseboards
byways through this space before and after - This is probably my favorite part. Them crawling around in wall/floor space.

that 5% you miss -- I'm confused.

My expectation is for the roaches to be a metaphor here. I think I'm probably missing something obvious. My only advice that may be useful is to avoid the phrase "at rest."
