Some big insect flew in and began walking on the table. I don’t know what insect it was, but it was brown, shining, and rich in structures. In the city the big universal chain of insects gets thin, but where there’s a leaf or two it’ll be represented.

Junot DíazThis wobbly world
host to insects and lint
and a thousand pithy ways

A poultice or an opiate,
rigidly individual. Alone
and erasing sentences to splinters.
(Poem No. 5)
