worm says
two children,
let's sit in the mosquito net
to avoid the heat of the steamer
send it inside in a plate of
three or four peaches
affectionately
only have to eat at night
put each other in mouth
happy to share a story of a day
slight,
petty,
trifling,
that was a bit of a but difficulty
daughter Nara says,
"No, there is a worm, what?"
son Eui: righteousness says
"but it is more delicious with it; it is good without insecticides!"
echo.......
when the surrounding calmed down
wriggling wriggling
as if it were audible
"the same is true of man."
