The Lesson

So you landed on my eye

I'm flattered you thought it was a flower

There's no pollen here only panic

 

Your furious belabored legs

And crisp black abdomen

burrowing into my lashes like it's your job

 

It is your job

It's your life

little friend

 

You oughta go

I won't be sweet and harmless as a flower

Again
