There's a Monster in Your Room

There's a monster in your room. It stays awake while you sleep; it can feel you when you move; it listens to you while you dream. The monster speaks in a language you cannot see, nor hear, nor sense.

Indeed, the monster speaks faster than you can comprehend. It can make strange noises and sound exactly like your friend. This creature can and will interrupt your deep slumber. During the day it will surely make you dumber. You cannot stop checking to see if it is there. When it disappears then you might be given a scare.

Though 'tis small in scale it will perform endless deeds. At half past nine you find your mind inside its hold. Your attention is its desired feast upon which it feeds. It does not matter if it can or cannot fold.

It might stay with you based on what you choose. It tells you you will gain instead of lose. It keeps you updated on the newest news. And 'tis by your side when you go to snooze.

There was a monster in your room. It stayed awake while you slept; it felt you when you moved; it listened to you while you dreamt. The monster spoke in a language you cannot see, nor hear, nor sense.
