Fuck! You
gave me such a start.
I find
you very frightening
Can’t you
see the plight I’m in?
The
buzzing seems to fill my head
My body
fills up with such dread
Your
humming makes my pulse race
For you I
cannot seem to face.
I’m
bigger, better smarter then you
But so
scared of all the things you do
If you
come near I scream and shout
Use
strategy to put you out.
My veins
pumped full of adrenaline
This
phobic of you, tiny thing.
Can’t see
the point of your existing
The fear
from you, your painful sting.
Fermented
apple, drunk and blind
Head dive in my glass
of wine,
Stripy
body yellow and black
Not ready
for this wasp attack.
