Endless Lawn X

Here’s one from Davey:
Alien Lawn
Mowing the grass in August
is like crash landing
in the kingdom of bugs.
Unprepeared for the colorful civilization,
it comes as a shock every year.
Now my senses are sharp,
and all too aware of yellow jackets’ secret nests.
Like stumbling into a violent colony of men obsessed with home security.
So every time I cut the tip off of a milk weed and it flies against me,
I think it’s a little yellow warrior.
Milllions of small spores and flying bugs
are in perfect bustling shape.
Like a team poised to win the super bowl.
Back in June I couldn’t imagine
wanting summer to end.
This overpopulated alien planet, though, reminds me that autumn is welcome.
I hate to be critical of their thriving;
I’m sure these life forms are as excited
to have me invade their world
as our society is to have another
White Ska Revival
come around.
