Infestation
my house
is full
of purple buzzing bumblebees
and tigers laying on the ceiling
friends
they ask me how I’m dealing
with this stressful
situation
what’s with their morbid fascination?
these purple buzzing bumblebees
and tigers laying on the ceiling
they were here
before i bought the house
they just wont disappear
