purple bug

purple bug season
is nigh.
tiny flies
fuzzy
annoying
numerous.
keep your mouth
closed,
or swallow a few.
shut your eyes
tight,
or squint in and
trap one or two.
can't be outside
or plan for some
friends,
stuck in your hair
or your teeth
or your wear.
alas, no deep breaths
without
facemask or cloth;
the lack of either
means a gag or a cough.
come on freeze,
it's time to deliver.
frigid cold weather
will stop
purple bug season.
