a facebook status won't be enough for me.

i'm tired.
it's past 2 am.
finally time to go to bed.
when i'm tired, my bed is a wonderful place.

just imagine
not having one.
is it hard to imagine?
can you really imagine, night after night
after night after night
sometimes you get beat up
oftentimes so hungry you cant sleep.
one bite would tide you over.
but theres nothing.
you're cold.
you wake up shivering.
kicking away rodents.

no, you retire to a clean mattress (STD-free)
well-sheeted (the mattress is "gross")
a few blankets
cute patterns even
just the right pillow (medium-firm)
you trust your roommate.
maybe they ate some of your fritos,
but you took some of their soda.
no biggie.

ownership of such small things hardly phases you.
just worth a few bucks.

what a world we live in.
