Unidentified Insects in Your Ear

Insects

Coming through the pipes

Breaking through your window screens

Forcing you to lower your defenses

Insects

Borrowing your time

Taking up your space

Making your bed with spotted sheets

Insects

Coming from other lands

Traveling on planes and trains

Entering through tiny holes

Insects 

Falling from the sky

Hatching from the bark

Digging from the dirt

Insects

Migrating from all directions

Floating to the surface of the pond

Sprouting from the darkest places

Insects

Riding the pollen in the wind

Hiding under candy wrappers

Attached to the wooden picnic table

Insects

Begging for revolution

Forming a brigade

Amassing at the borders
