Serious Young Insects

Serious young insects

scuttle and click

tightly tuned springs

of a clockwork tick

tick, tick, tick.......

those clacketty legs

and train track backs

erect and refined

waxed and sublime

cut glass eyes

see from behind

inspecting

projecting

dissecting their finds

scouring for prey

masquerading as play

those clever

crisp mouths

spit paradoxical puns

to canned corn applause

as they wiggle their bums

oh here they come

bravo what cheer

impossible syntax

oozed like diarrhea

OCD ethics

and anal pursuits

they scatter their seeds

in an urge to pollute

OMG their antics are cool

as they bite off your head

and force out a stool

you fodder their smirks

with your awe full cow eyes

just step on those jerks

and cut them to size

(be cruel to be kind)
