White wings with brown circles Plates of armor, black and orange They discovered your weakness in the night A ***** in your chitinous plate All you sought was the shining fluorescent light As you rested on the window sill Now your wings flutter uselessly, a vain attempt To fly away on morning breezes, all for naught This cast iron tombstone, your final resting place How dignified, you must think? Dying on a piece of cheap lawn furniture Don't worry; your broken wings will fly again In the beaks of sparrows and crows
