"Poem Containing Undesirable Creatures"

 

Bleached-cobwebs, mounds of them, descend to the floor.

Hordes of schizoid-cockroaches nibble detached 

spider legs clinging to the sticky Arthropod-excretions.

Vipers slither through an adjacent window

and slide in and out this tingling orgy. 

Mice huddle in the air ducts, cowering.

This is my bedroom.

I choose to feed crawling cacophonies.
