bugs
A ladybug flies off my middle finger
My mom asks me if ive named the fire
-fly that’s been stuck to my shirt
for the better part
of a day
I say No, I wouldn’t be so bold
but I would be so bold
as to swat the shit
out of a beetle
after it bites me and then
anything else that touches me
Buzz has gotten out
and the assault is on
as I type this
on a bugged computer
