Bites


gloves, sleeves, pants, and hat

protection from the elements,

against the summer sun is worn

like a soldier going off to battle,

sweating out the fears of animal

infestations on the skin...

lively creatures bite and sting

in a useless effort to keep me 

away from their private domain,

lofty expectations these creatures

have thinking they can rule the

outside world free and clear...

at least in the summer months as

in the winter they don't appear.
