AS WELL IT SHOULD

HomePoetryAS WELL IT SHOULD

There is a bug

crawling on my screen…

not even a millimeter long.

Just think about this little

spark of life with all those

desires for food and safety

and sex… It has six tiny legs,

and knees, and ankles,

little bitty eyes, it’s all there!

When I put the tip of my finger

in its way, it flies in terror to

ponder this new Existential Crisis.

    1. Takes a gentle mind to notice what so many ignore or don’t even notice. Charming words, sir Vol.

      Hello, Vol – So good to see you, thought you’d gone walk-about. No way of contacting you other than here and our time just don’t coincide, sadly. Feel free to say hi or something when you can, sir. Take care.

    2. Lol, dear Vol, you and I must be on the same wavelength these days. Just the other day, I watched as an ant crawled on the ledge of my window sill. My impulse was to obliterate him, but then… I started writing a poem about him and his followers. Not to spoil it here, though. I will post it in due time. Meanwhile, I must say, I love seeing this compassionate man inside the poet. You could have squashed him, but decided to allow his itty bitty life to have purpose. My hero!!
