Uncaught


Fluttering happily, the bug flew
High up from the ground yet not in the sky
Quickly, quickly, in a sudden panic
It flew from its vicious would-be captor
Two pale hands scraped at the air
And the bug expertly weaved around and in between them,
In an odd dance of fate and life or death
Then suddenly, with a silent swoop
The bug dove down and then back up
And flew away
Quickly, quickly, in a flurry
