So Many Questions

I got used to it long ago.
Those little tickles on the foot, shin or shoulder.
Who’s there? I used to ask.
Some little unseen friend trying to get my attention or was it a trespassing insect? Maybe a thread or piece of lint landing on my fine skin hairs.
I don’t swat anymore, choosing to look first. Ants get the brush off. Spiders get a stronger reaction with a few choice words.
But I don’t want to randomly swat just in case it might actually be a sweet little fairy needing a place to rest.

Usually though there is no visual explanation. It stands to reason that there will be no audible answer to my verbal request.
Still I ask, quietly, in my mind, who’s there? And then wait for an answer.
I figure if the answer doesn’t come in the first few seconds I won’t get one.
