Sharpshooter leafhopper,
you’re wanted in Michigan
for being unwanted
on rhododendrons, and aces
from Dorset to London
hang your striking scarlet
and blue profile as warning
you’d be better off elsewhere—
though welcome shores
have shrunk like Shrinky
Dinks 1980s children
baked in the oven
into hard little plates
they just looked at,
not being quite willing
or unwilling to save them.
