The Bug On the Ceiling
The Bug On The Ceiling
A tiny round bug crawling along the ceiling
With armored wings and shell
Six legs carry it about without gravity
Chaotic motions driven by our eye
And nature’s interpretation of
What and why and how it goes by
As chance might pull it left or right
I doubt it thinks things through
As it advances aimlessly up there
Or why we watch here from the floor
Our necks in a knot and sore
If I could choose to work all day
Or stay with the bug
Fixed here to figure things out….
He pays no rent….He is not a pest from what I gather
Tiny round bug on the ceiling
What harm is there in that?
What will the thing do next?
He is my guest
