10/9/2010 --
have you ever seen mosquitoes dance?
atop a young man's head, they danced around.
they whirled and twirled around in sync,
just right and in time with Tchaikovsky's Valse.
they looked so lovely that i forgot
that they have caused these itches and rash.
a surprising thing what these bloodsuckers can do.
how they can seem so lovely and graceful, too.
but still, i reach out and crush them with my hands.
and i see my own blood on my rust-stained palms.
