y’all familiar with winter flies?
i am fearless except re: the things my mother
feared when i was womb-ridden
the beast
retorts
bugs
going bugs (ie., i don’t want to end up in the bughouse)
tall dark strangers on darkened streets who chase young girls
+grab them between the legs
imagine the brave involved in approaching a fly
trapped in my house (need some freedom karma asap)
scooped him in a covidkleenex ferried him to the roof
said fly said:
this is not my house this is not my wife
who is this bitch? i better run for my life!
with that i snatched back the under appreciated freedom
+squished the sucker between my fingers i suspect it will be
a long winter covid-caged +bugs
