well because here's the thing

see, i don't sleep

in the night time

because, well

i've somehow arrived

at the preposterous

conclusion

that intruders

only intrude

between the hours of midnight

and 5:30am

(probably because

they need to get some rest

and change out of their

intruding clothes

before they head off

to their real jobs

at 9am

like the rest of us

because their coworkers

might be alarmed

if they showed up

in ski masks

or black gloves

covered in something

that strangely

resembles

blood.)
