If You Are Mean To Me

if you are mean to me
i will plant seeds of flowers that all the insects like
to the wasteland close to your home
and then the birds will come, too
and i will invite you to watch the birds
and i can tell you what species they are,
and if i don’t know we can find out

and i can tell you also that there are over 200 species of bees
in the area of Finland, can you imagine
and you can tell me how much you are interested
very very much
very very nice

and along the birds comes the ticks
one climbs up your sweaty leg and sticks to your groin
lucky you it doesn’t carry borreliosis or TBE
but it praises you a bit too profusely
at the same time you rip it off with shitty basic tweezers
it’s proboscis get stuck and you have to worry for days
if there is yet a risk of borreliosis or TBE -
and you think about what the tick said
and you think about thinking about the words of a tick
and you search for information if anybody have had the same experience,
but no

so you call me
can you imagine
and i’m like   wow
i think the tick was quite right
and you’re sorry that you were mean to me
and i’m like
that’s ok,
i already got my revenge
