Papa Roach and Mama Roach
They must have come through the walls, just like ghosts, or like characters from a different dimension. I needed an explanation and met a scientist. I was in tears when I told him my story. Then he looked up as if searching for the right answer on the ceiling, and said, “well, you know roaches can survive a nuclear explosion?” Really?
A nation that does nothing when cockroaches invade every crack on the wall and the floor, and every drawer in its houses, is uncivilized and unpatriotic. Do you know that people are throwing away half your grocery because it is contaminated by roaches?

Then they disappear again as I bang the door in anger. I shut myself in, glad the roach tribe lives outside my apartment.
But the nasty creatures can penetrate walls. The moment the lights go off, they are inside, all over the place, crawling over my face. I jump out of my bed and switch the table lamp on, only to be surprised by the same formation I saw at the porch, the same terrorizing advance of the mama and papa roaches. Instantly they disappear in cracks I didn’t realize existed in my apartment. I have become a roach expert.
If you want to know what is in the Home Depot shelves, I will tell you. Chemical weapons to fight the roaches are on the left side of aisle 6. The spray cans cost between $3 to $14 each, fumigators, powdered acid are $6 each. Calque sealants for the cracks are in aisle 14, left. The small one costs $3.50, the premium $4. You better buy gloves from… aisle nine, this time at Walmart they are cheaper
