Did you ever reach up onto a shelf in a back yard storage shed, or get too close to the eaves of the house while standing on a ladder? Did you live in Texas when that happened? Chances are you’ve met a few daddy long legs. What is the plural of daddy long legs, anyway?
Swarms of Daddy Long Legs
When you think of pulsing things
You might think of heartbeats
headaches
a rhythm in you thumb
after a brief hammer
accident
but what you should be thinking of
is this:
swarms
and swarms
of bugs
but not just any bugs
the biggest and flimsiest
of them all:
daddy long legs
those mystery insects
floating
flying
and somehow pulsing
all as one
oh yeah
all
as
one
