Guilt by Association

Poor butterflies,
live in the season of mosquitoes and cicadas.
Just fluttering around,
doing their thing.
But when they land it feels like a tiger bite.
So you slap.
Sometimes that happens.
Not just to them.

  18. I usually look before I smear bug blood all over me. I try not to kill spiders and stuff, but screw those mosquitoes and moths.
