cockroaches

"When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams,
he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin."--
Franz Kafka, Metamorphosis

you gotta get them
before
they make
your home a mess
give you nightmares
and crawl into
your cupboards
and beds at night

these dirty bugs
will ruin your
civilized life

plaque you
disturb you
destroy you

they are willing
to walk straight
into poison
to feed and
create another
generation

nothing
at all
like us

who
wake up one morning
to find ourselves with
several struggling legs
wide brown
bellies
and exoskeletons
that go crunch when
trampled.
