IT'S ALL IN MY HEAD



You know those outrageous headlines on the Internet…
That no matter how much time you don’t have…
You're curious enough to open the link anyway?
Yesterday…
I saw this headline:
GROSS THING LIVING INSIDE MAN’S HEAD.
Lord!
Ever since I was a kid and heard of earwigs...
I’ve been afraid of one crawling in my ear…
Not that I know where I and an earwig would be together...
But recently, I've been crazed...
Thinking something’s crawled in my head.
Why?
Besides the gigunda sized bugs here in Akumal...
There's also the tiniest, eensy weeniest, little ants here.
And they’re everywhere!
In my kitchen…
In my bathroom…
On my computer…
Even on me!
The other night in bed...
My ear itched...
And before drifting off to my usual deep sleep…
I imagined one tiny pest had crawled in my ear.
After a restless night…
I woke up with an even itchier ear, tormented...
Had a bug crawled in there? Was it still in there?
Since then…
I've been spotted…
With a hydrogen peroxide dipped Q-Tip …
Hanging out of my ear.
(lest you think I’m loco, my doc in the States recommended this)
So?
Did I check that video to see what was in the man’s head?
Hell no!
I didn't need a visual…
I’d already conjured several in my head.
So?
Are you afraid of earwigs?
Ever think something's crawled in your ear?
Ever admit to a crazy scenario?
