I killed a cockroach.

I killed a cockroach today
while it’s trying to escape.

At the bottom of a drinking glass
where it should have stayed put.

It kept trying to craw out,
so I forgot it’s inside out.

I crushed its skull & other places
because I don’t want it in the house.

It’s a brave little bug,
though it ended up squashed.

I’m sorry we were not friends,
come back, be my enemy instead.
