Busy Beetles

Angrily tossing the chair into the dumpster I imagined the

Little grubs wriggling inside the wood of the nice goddamn

Piece of furniture I spent my hard earned money on.

You see, I discovered the small worms a little too late for

Proactive extermination, and besides, I’m a clumsy human with

Fat fingers.

I looked up the life cycle of these voracious little worms and

Found that they turn into beetles and as the fancy chair sailed through the

Air into the garbage I imagined the sneaky-ass bugs

Humping like crazy on the floor of my

apartment.

Then I felt stupid for being furious at these troublemaking

Beetles when I realized all they wanted to do was eat and

Have some kinky sex in

Somebody else’s newly-furnished

house.
