Question: This poem has been waiting for her and is it buggy!?
*****
She Bugs Me
by TD Euwaite

Rendezvous with moth and flying beetle
A sun they reach unhappily
Each pass closer
Each wing singed on contact
Circle the lamplight
Inside the cone
Outside the night
The slaughter rains on park bench lovers…

A rendezvous with a book worm bloated
Who wished not to drown in world's sorrow
And sink to the bottom!.!.!.
Who waits here suspended
for the gaping maw to devour
And metamorphise
Into a bug in a head!.

Clawing and scratching
From inside
Like a hijacked poem
Trying to get out
Vomit unlatching!.!.!.
The horror!
Chunks of rain wash the porcelain gods over!.!.!.
Oh sh!t, I got finals tomorrow!.!.
Oh crap, it's today!Www@QuestionHome@Com
