debt to society

by Fred Aiken

an ant crawls on my wrist,
and i don’t know where it came from,
but it might be rude, or possibly bad luck,
to kill an ant crawling on me while 
i play online chess with my 15 year old nephew
who doesn’t like playing chess,
but will play it every other week with me
because i learned how to play minecraft
so we could play together,
so he kinda owes me
