'I woke up and they were in there'

I woke up and they were in there
they didn’t settle in
they moved in on me
I made room for them
and offered them a cup of tea
they raided the fridge
scattered bits of food on the floor
I sat in the corner
they rearranged the furniture around me
and crowded in on me
I tried to join them
but they weren’t having any of it
they pushed me to the wall
and stamped around loudly
I turned on the radio
they smashed it and played with the pieces
I tried ignoring them
but they wouldn’t get out of my way
in the end I gave up and went to bed
when I woke up they were in there
