free fall

 

you put a bug in my ear

it crawled inside and burrowed

deep in my skull

traversing my brain

with doubt, and fear

and absolute confusion

 

 

you put a bug in my ear

that traveled down my head

went into my neck and

circled round my throat

 

 

slid down to my gullet and

swam around inside

 

 

you put a bug in my ear

that did laps in my belly

it gurgled and roiled

and poisoned from within

 

 

spewing its seed and waste and bile

it chewed on my intestines as it

wormed its way out

then rethought its position and clawed

back up

 

“this is nice. this is cozy. I think I shall stay”

 

you put a bug in my ear

impossible to purge

so i put up a screen to hide the mess

(smile on the outside) until i can deal

 

 

 

… but i can’t

 

 

 

so …..

 

 

 

    good ——

 

 

 

             bye
