waiting for critics to be in season again

watching a large fluffy moth
flutter around a light
its wings flapping quickly making
echo-shadows on the wall---
&
you
wish
it
was
one
of
your
annoying
little
critics
who live in very much the same manner fluttering around your light but never knowing a light themselves---
&
gee, if you could only swat them dead as you
can
the
moth.

let the moth live, and wait for your chance
when
critics are in season again.
