I do not wish to write a poem about a spider<\/p>\n
instead of I want to write about a fly<\/p>\n
that does not want to die a pest<\/p>\n
but see himself as an aviator,<\/p>\n
a hero of the World War.<\/p>\n
Or maybe about a Dean Young’s moose<\/p>\n
in lyrical fashion<\/p>\n
I would rather a write an article<\/p>\n
interviewing a worm,<\/p>\n
half-drowned by the August rains<\/p>\n
about the dire situation of the ravenous seagulls.<\/p>\n
I have tried to do the taxes of the ant colony but<\/p>\n
their deductions got too complicated, too many pheromones<\/p>\n
or the romance novel of bees.<\/p>\n
I would prefer to write an encyclopedia of famous beetles<\/p>\n
in their little impeccable hats and their striking moustaches<\/p>\n
or lacey parasols.<\/p>\n
I won’t write about the ballet of spiders<\/p>\n
that pirouette around the windowsill,<\/p>\n
tip toe across the floor.<\/p>\n
I just won’t.<\/p>\n
