warm rain brings centipedes

i stand beneath my
live oak

leaves, branches
heavy with warm rain
as i move in and out
trough them, among them
smashing my cigarette;
we've survived another
winter

now together
we bear the
burden
of
satisfying
the unfulfilled

walking up the
concrete
i hear the
centipedes
crushing
popping beneath
my feet

i hate them

on a good day
i pick fifteen
up from
my floor

i disagree as
i crush and
flush them
but the
thought of them
crawling in my
mouth and ears
overrides
the ego behind
my ideals
so this is the
life now
