A Considerable Speck (Microscopic)

So there was this tiny speck chillin’ on the paper I was writing on

which I only noticed ’cause the paper was super white.

It was moving around, and I was about to crush it with my pen,

When I realized it was a bug, not dust.

It stopped for a second, probably scared

Because I was wielding a giant fucking pen of death,

And then it ran off toward the words I had just written.

I think it drank some of the wet ink. Weird.

But I guess it thought it was gross, too,

‘Cause then it scurried off again.

I guess it was a pretty smart little fucker.

It was super goddamn small,

To the point that I couldn’t believe it even had legs,

But it must have ’cause it was running all over the place.

After running maniacally for a while, it calmed its shit,

At which point it seemed to have come to terms

With the fact that I was probably going to kill it.

Now let’s be clear: I’m not some fucking pussy.

I’m not into all this “save the animals” shit, or whatever it is.

But I felt kinda bad for the bug.

It wasn’t bothering me or anything,

So I just let it chill.

I’m a pretty smart dude,

And this seemed like a pretty smart bug.

I’m always glad to see intelligence of any form on a piece of paper,

‘Cause most things people write are such shit.
