someone please tell me what it is about
this house, this completely normal house
that looks like every house on the block
that entices and seduces every bat in the
neighborhood
to come flocking to the
rafters, to the porch, into every window
that gets left open, every screen that
gets bent, snagged, torn, gapped,
or hell,
some days I have no idea how they
are getting in, don't know what door
or window, nook or cranny could have
been at fault, what strange point of entry
they could have squeezed through this
time,
but there it is, a tiny little critter
the size of my thumb, or a giant thing
with a terrifying wing span, or a
whole bunch of them hanging around
in the kitchen like a gaggle of girls
having a sleepover, and how how how
did these friggin bats get into my house?
And how do I get them out, without
disturbing them, disrupting them,
causing them any trouble, because
I don't want to hurt them at all,
even if they're all up in my space,
they're perfect little beings who
don't deserve to have their days
ruined by the likes of me, and...
it's me, isn't it?
I really need to do something
about attracting all these
frigging amazing beautiful
but also really inconvenient
bats.
