Musty

I have ants like Easter eggs lost in the grass. 
Feeling the wasp nest in my neck like a mass. 
I bellowed because my head has no chance. 
Like grasshoppers who can’t prance. 
I belong because I am a basement floor. 
Who gets cracks in it like a burning core.  
I belong like spiders sipping on the harmful dust. 
Hurts like sandpaper we can’t trust. 
But I belong because I am like Saturn. 
That rusty, reddish pattern. 
Head musty like decisions. 
No kind of revisions. 
Shocking. 
Spiderwebs interlocking. 
Belonging isn’t always kind to me. 
I still am a glob in the sea. 
Soap scum come to fruition. 
I was just wistful fishin’.
