Feelings bite
I’m infested
Put that feeling in a box
Put that box in another box
To me, mail that box of poppycock
And when it arrives
I’ll smash it with a hammer!
Take hold the jackhammer.
How brilliant a katzenjammer.
The heavy slammer with the hammer.
A demolition’s clamor.
I see confetti of debri
So begins their crawl in me
They burrow sporadically
They are swarming
and teeming and
I can’t escape what’s in the air
They’re here
And I am laid bare
Encroaching roach
Into my ear
Squirming worming
Into my eye
Twitch
Shifts
Twists my mind’s eye
I can taste the bitter beetle
I’m an infected vessel
Not dealing
With feelings
Writhing
just under my skin
Wriggling
Slithering
Slimy grub
Slow slug
Body is ravaged
Irritated
Sick.
Inspect the insect.
Heed some reasoning.
