Self-Isolation Saturninity
by Shelby Rice
Dayton, Ohio
the only friends i have left are the ants which currently inhabit my laptop computer
i don’t know how they got there, if i’m being completelyhonestthough i
have
eaten crackers while i marathoned star trek and
perhaps
the crumbs shook down and the ants followed and burrowed and nested and built in the warm
and i don’t begrudge them that (at least someone is creating
around here) but now when i’m typing i feel the
creep
of something up my leg and it shakes and i mistype so
please-please-please forgive the miscommunications all i can offer is the knowledge that i
got distracted trying to get my friend to crawl back to his clavier home
