black text on a blue background reading:
pharaoh ants (two smokers & a cadaver)

Bodies buried in plastic bags. We are rotting & rotting & rotting. It's dripping down the walls and we inject like heaven. Clotting in your veins like ants in resin. Did you know that ants don't have lungs? Let's make that our next project. We used to be in and out of hospitals but now we just stay home and smoke. A colony of two won't make it; a dying species that choke themselves out won't make it; a pest doesn't stop being a pest just because someone loves him; what I'm trying to say is, we won't make it. But go on, "It'll be alright", let me hear it again & again & again. The lifetime of a pharaoh ant is about 10 weeks. Remember that for me? Everything's started all over and we do nothing but know it. We are rotting & rotting & rotting and yet we can't stop killing. Who? I wish I knew. Our parents, our friends, ourselves? For now I just focus on the bugs that lie legless on the porch. They say dealing with an ant infestation is difficult, but we've managed to rot this place to the core in just a few weeks. Tomorrow marks seventy days and we will gut this house; no apologies; no goodbyes; just you and me; you and me and this cadaver of a home; let me hear it again & again & again.
