ever hear a butterfly?

saturday i'm cuttin' weeds b'hin' the house, see, n it's a lil past 6, so i'm thinkin' i'd best wrap soon b4 the bugs start bitin'.

i chewed a clove o garlic b4 i started, cz i heard it keeps skeeters away, but i don' kno if it works on nethng else, n we got all kinds o lil monsters comin' out late in the day that've developed a taste 4 human flesh—n who needs that, right?

so i'm tryin' 2 get a bit mo done when a black butterfly catches my eye—or maybe moth, i can't really tell cz it's movin' so fast.

so fast, in fact, i wonder 4 a mo if it's a hummingbird. i've seen'em out there, n once i thought one was a butterfly, but it moved way 2 fast then stopped on a dime n hovered a couple secs then flew off at right angles 2 its original path.

but i never heard o black hummingbirds, so i figger it mus b a moth or butterfly. hummingbirds don' flutter, either, do they? this thing flutters, but it sure flies fast.

neway, i get back 2 work, but it gets my attention again off 2 my left then flies up high. i bend over again, when WHOOSH! smthng whizzes past my right ear.

i almost jump. must be a bird or a falling branch. but no, there's that black lepidopteran again, flyin' away fro me.

i yell "hey! what's WITH u?" struggle to regain composure. take couple mo cuts at weeds. feel spot on arm start 2 itch. give up. go inside.
