Tube Train

Little fella with wavy legs crawled out from beneath the fridge and someone stepped on him, so early in the morning. He crunched lightly and was bleeding when I scooped him up with a magazine with Lil Nas X on the cover. A three-inch millipede! He curled up when encountered the coated magazine paper, and I don’t blame him. My passenger now, I took him out to a plant and gently set him there to unfurl and continue his little circuit.
