What would a gigantic beetle say in the bathroom at 2:30 am?
She froze
when she saw me
while she was
on the toilet
where we breed
before we drown
I thought I could
just sneak in
like last time
a few months ago
(my kin’s in another apartment,
waiting—)
Why am I here?
Boredom? Bravery? Gumption?
Anyway,
I got the Hell out—
hope she won’t scream—
or fart again
(that was gross)
& I’m not
a transformed human
like Kafka once described
I was found at the wrong time.
Why was the woman there?
(Oh yeah, she had to pee)
I don’t belong here.
Gotta go!
