over my bare foot
the rat brushes
midnight pee

I would DIE  

A well realized scene.

eew. A good eew, of course, in terms of the poem.

And I'm thinking, with regards to the title: "It's over! My two week streak of no wet bed..." xD

Thanks guys. Glad this one is working for you :-)

The back story is that I once spent about 6 weeks on a project in San Diego centered around a warehouse with some very high end antiques consigned for auction where I stayed. It was generally comfortable but the lights and bathroom were a bit away from where I slept. I had to walk about 8 feet to the light from my bed in the dark in order to avoid tripping and falling on anything pointy on the way to the bathroom at the other end of the warehouse :-) I realized early on that I had company in the warehouse when I awoke one morning to find a neatly bored hole in a whole watermelon I had left out. I didn't make that mistake again, but the rat would come by to be sure anyway. Twice getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night (I swing out of bed pretty fast when I wake to do so) I startled the rat apparently looking for crumbs near my living/sleeping area, who both times ran right over my right foot making a beeline to safety I suppose. In any case, I can still feel his bristles over my foot to this day :-)

I don't think I'd made it to the bathroom at midnight if a rat had run over my foot either. As a matter of fact, I'd probably let it loose right there.

Good write.
