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
