Little flea

Little flea
Why do you bear the weight of the world on your shoulders?
You are only one flea
In a huge flea circus
And anyway, the ringmaster has gone AWOL
With all that weight,
Little flea,
How
Are
You
Going
to juuuuuuump?

    ah, what ails thee,
    little flea?
    burdens real or phantasmagorical?
    thus spake the oracle:
    shed thy load
    and hit the road!

    I wish I could
    But this load of wood
    I’ve collected oh so painfully
    Shall burn me free ..
    eventually
