dont bother to laugh
words float through the air
one dive bombs me like a kamikaze pilot
I grab for it, but miss
it chuckles uncontrollably
the word was laugh
I roll my eyes
then hear buzzing in my ear
mosquito! Dang!
I smack at it
it zooms away, out of my reach
I see it was the word bother
laugh and bother
bother and laugh
what can I do with this?
don’t comes by and bites my shoulder
don’t bother to laugh I say
Then I do laugh
Because the words have bested me yet again
