Every inch of ground and air
is filled with scurrying
black beetles, little red ants,
a wasp stuck to my soda,
a brown camel cricket,
a schoolbus yellow butterfly,
a great big green shiny dragonfly
two flies, one of which bites,
all in about one minute.
I must be an enormous thing
in the middle of their world,
taking up three hundred
bug backyards.
To them, my occupation
must consist mostly
of slowly taking up space.
