La Cucaracha Loca

Bitten by a kissing bug in Puerto Escondido, Mexico

I saw the little bugger in my room

but don't remember if after or before the attack

yet unknown to my gringo eyes, I didn't recognize the insect then

Apropos for the horny old bastard which 'tis me

to be killed by an unwanted kiss

now, 15 years later, megacolon joins the melancholy

her symptoms are my massage, and sepsis shall be my doom
