"Setting"

I hear my nephews foot steps as he creeps into my room.
I hear the ring of my house phone echoing its may to my room.
I hear my nephews gasps as he falls quietly asleep.
I hear the pressure of my fingertips on my keyboard.
I hear the light sound of the air venting in my room.

I smell the ham that my nephew is devouring in front of my face.
I smell the scent of the new perfume xoxo that my sister received as a present for her birthday.
I smell the fumes of illegal substances around my house.
I smell the sweetness of the banana flavored bubble gum I aI'm chewing on.
I smell orange juice on my nephews clothing.

I feel the pressure of my fingertips pressing against my computer keyboard.
I feel my nephews butty buggying to the music on my lap.
I feel my cold hands on my neck.
I feel a disturbing itch on my left arm.
I feel cold face cream all over my face.

I see lots od stuffed animals on top of my bed.
I see the bright sun shining into my room.
I see plenty of letters on my computer screen.
I see candy wrappers scatered all over my desk.
I see the refletion of the clothing in my closet through the miror near my door.

I taste ham on my phalangies.
I taste hard banana gum in my mouth.
I taste nothing.
I taste blood in my finger nails.
I taste freshly made pancakes with syrup in my mouth.
