Millipede Me Poem by Raj Arumugam

millipede me
with my many, many legs
and my head rounded above and flattened below
the universe conspired to make me;
every move, every big bang
every wave, every element
every beginning, every end
and all forces of nature came together
just to make me
and bestow on me
some engineering ability;
the forces exist to make me
and they have no meaning but for me
millipede me
and my kind
with the South African fun name shongololos
so we can burrow
and eat decaying leaves
and so we can curl up
and feel oh so safe
maybe comfy for me;
see
all of time and creation
curls up cool in me;
millipede me
nature worked so hard to make me
so I can eat your seedlings
and show off my sexy legs:
come see, sometime
