a colony of bats



masses, very quickly, surrounded me
to see what i would declare
now that i have a legal dispensation
a privilege
bestowed only on a foreigner

they nearly pushed me
though unintentionally

they made me drop
one by one
the big and small item
i carefully carried
into that pit

and as i bend down
to reach the bottom
picking cautiously my scattered stuff
the masses
almost buried me
standing up-side down
like a colony of bats in a cave
