i’m on my way to buy a flamethrower
light these screaming bugs up in flames
sure it’ll be louder for a second,
but then i’ll have silence
maybe be able to nap a while
i’m not sure where to buy a flamethrower
let alone how to light a fire

I love the picture this piece creates and also find myself relating to wanting to do anything to get rid of the noisy bugs!
I have this image in my head now of your pink hair flared out as you reduce everything around to cinders to just take a nap. Amusing poem, but hope you find peace soon!
That is a hilarious image! Luckily i’ve been in Ohio for a few days and it is much more peaceful here. Cicadas and storms are a terrible combo for a migraine sufferer!
I know this feeling. I actually wrote a note while driving: “the cicadas of Man o War” because they seemed insanely loud in the corridor between Richmond Rd and Tate’s Creek.
