Caren Krutsinger Poet Shape

Please Do Not Generalize All Bugs

ok                           cer
           ay                            tai
           som                         nly
           e but                       not 
             *                            a
             *                             l
             *                             l
              *****************
              tiny  creepy  crawly 
           big eyed mini-creatures 
           who  tiptoe  across  our 
           skin while we sleep are 
           not  looking  to give us 
           a  disease  or a  horrid
           sting or bite. So let us
           not generalize our bugs
           If you do not mind. Let
           us  not  generalize our 
          stings or our bites either.
