Head Lice

A blind minutiae
 1
dances in careless abandon
 2
along a hair.
 3
He’s been combed out of bed,
 4
landed from his comfortable lair,
 5
fish out of water,
 6
forced to parade outside the shade,
 7
in bold sunshine where he slows,
 8
half way comatose, while previous life is sought.
 9
Realisation then strikes, been extracted
 10
like a growth beneath the surgeons knife.
 11
 
Tries to pretend its not come to an end,
 12
this intrepid tight rope walker
 13
balances, stalks along one jettisoned strand,
 14
as he's tossed into the bin,
 15
his fine and glossy lifeline lost.
 16
Paid the price for each and every bite,
 17
searches for sustenance among today’s debris,
 18
choking as he tries to flea.
