it’s 1969 in my bathroom

I feel as if I’ve eaten edibles
the kind that make you believe
you are inhabiting other realities
not that I need any help with that
since I would take the hand of any
spectral being who my bellybutton
told me was friendly but anyway
I digress because I want to tell you
about the tiny bugs that sometimes
visit my bathroom and scurry like
tiny spiders but then take wing but
other times I swear they camouflage
themselves as fluff in my hairbrush
