June asked me,
“Why do you always frown when you see me?”
I replied with honesty.
I said
I hate being sticky
for the next five months.
I hate keep drinking water.
Eating cold food means making sure they are not spoiled.
I conserve my energy
and stay indoors.
That will make me fat.
And a final reason.
People smack me.
Sometimes hard.
Saying there was a big bug close to me.
