The rotten ropes of the hammock broke
dropping my ass to the wet ground.
I struggled to get free and screamed
as fire ants crawled up my leg and began
to make their way up to my scrotum.
It's people like me who deserve these things
for going around their ass to find a way
to use the word scrotum in a poem about ants.
A Feast for Ants
