as stowaways
they came
this decade
DNA in resin
resurrected
from jurassic
garden soil
of the old country
illegal aliens w/o/d
without documents
they entered
unannounced
without rapping
at the door
or rattling
at the window
silent as the doorbell
they did the tour
i discovered one
in my cupboard
i froze - he froze
he played injured
then dead
the bloody gaul
"you didn't see me"
he said "i'm not
what you think
not so shiny or big
just a harmless
coffeebean"
i don't think so
nonindigenous
intruder
feelers all aflitt
a disgusting
earwig
