carpet tactic

Alas alack a carpet tack!
The plush we cushed our flooring with
has worn and matted down with feet
Until it sticks. Our soles to prick
so unpredictably, despite
the same damn spot
is where it's at. Except
most times it doesn't poke!
You have to step a special way,
and you can't seem
to master that.
So down on fours,
you tease and push
the fibers and the tufts
aside and there! There is
the point of it. How could
a thing so pointy
hide?

    Yeah that used to be a pain in the ass. The foot, actually. At the bungalow in Scotts Valley. Or whatever, I guess it wasn't a bungalow.
