Stop being so easy.
Please, they are so
easily led. Project in-
stead a message of argument.
Stop curling up as pill-
bugs curl, and uncurl
showing your velvet underside,
black, holding legs of every
creature left on earth, besides!
Move up the hardwood floor
beneath the body, barely
curling up; alive then dead.
And so distrust its motions
or distract from them as best
we can.
