Gypsy Moth

Aren't you early
this year,
caterpillars?

Lonely
scouts for legions
soon on the march
to eat all the green in
the world.

I run, and it's humid,
but I'm getting no faster
in a relative sense

No real hope of out distancing
much of anything,

I just need the ability
to keep moving fast enough,
long enough,
to avoid being crushed
by knowing
it.
