I spot it by the mailbox
wearing a gray terrycloth robe and a pair of black Isotoner leopard slippers
entertaining the messy neighbor
with predictions of bear sightings and blood engorged ticks

allergic to crowds and absent at the town street festival
it prefers to drive home alone
belittle the spouse
complain of indigestion
and then eat
a hunk of Swiss cheese
and leftover asparagus

that the army ants have snubbed.
