Sure the B’s are Free

  they overfly & pee on me

    they drop B bombs on me

      they spout winged philosophy on me

       they fan me with wee wings

         they gossip ‘bout dead loved-ones

          they sup-up polluted air so fair

            they spawn 1002 schmaltzy movies

              they inspire saintly Brit writers to spout quotable things

                they collide with jetliner

                  causing them to crash land on me

                    i B-fly die

                      & dream

                        after death

                           of

                        butterflies

                              ............
