They Found the Body This Morning
dead-diddly-ed
you can't live in a state
of vigilance like that
waiting
for it to pop up
you'd die of stress
one of them was just strutting through
the living room
like it owned the place
i'm now sitting upstairs
i yelped and dived out the way
the insects round here have been
losing
their damn minds lately
skittering around
but i found the body of the gejigeji
this morning
it looks like i'll have to burn the house down now
