Far From the Tree

They were rotten
right to the core
I’d forgotten
and went for more
I was hungry
and they were free
Do worms have germs?

I would not be surprised if they did. I once saw a tapeworm crawl out of a freshly killed cockroach. Ever since then, when I see anything about people eating bugs intentionally I get queasy.

  Thanks! I didn’t know cockroaches could have tapeworms. That’s a strange visual stuck in my head now. 🙂
