Walking on the lawn,
The sun is bright
And I’m bursting with energy
“Can things be this boring?”
I ask myself
Its then- I feel something on my feet
What could it be?
I decide to sneak a peek
But see nothing
That sensation is gone momentarily
Again, I feel it elsewhere on my leg
What could it be?
I decide to sneak another peek
My heart beats rapidly
Confusion in my mind clearly
Finally, I see something,
Crawling up my leg
An insect unknown to me
Moving so fast
It’s easy to lose it
I follow its movement
My eyes refuse to blink
With no shield ready for it,
My other leg puts up a big fight,
It takes a fine stroke to get it off
Now, I don’t feel it any more,
Will I ever see it again?
My mind is alert
And I feel a light itch
This moment firmly imprinted in my head
Its name’s unknown
But I feel lethargic
Energy having been drained out
in that colossal fight
For now- I christen it the “Ninja Insect”
