me: hmm it is a nice day. as i am filled with hubris, i will go outside and sit :)
every bug in the universe at once: crawl?????? for to crawl???????
me who likes bugs a lot: darlings it’s ok to crawl but be careful of get squish
bugs who are very smart: between page of book, i will Homestead
me: i turn page now
bugs: o my folly!
me who understands how nature works: this is communal space but please do not crawl onto skin i cannot see
bugs: there is sweat in yonder shoulderblades and i must be the one who licks it
me: and i must be the one who slaps the tickles
bugs: alas, i am laid low by the salt!
