Those Little Lizards That Stand on Your Skin

Amongst many tiny hairs,
the similar quality,
standing on end as if tiny
prickles or shocks lit them
up.

Creepy, crawly little lizards
that scale the follicle trees
and scream and taunt one another
from atop their grand thrones,
like vagabonds they migrate from
leg to leg, arm to arm,
body to body, passing along
the similar message of fright.

Some excited in the grandeur of the view,
decide to hang around for a while,
keeping the jungles intact, allowing for
movements and dirty conciertos,
sources of fascination and amusement.

Marvelous!

Fear, fear, fear that doesn't tremble their
boughs but instead humbles their
appetites.
