tails and heads look up

moved among left behinds
thought best of intentions
the tour guide knew so much
he was not afraid of the sticky traps
but for us or for something not seen
he picked a strand from the ceiling
dangled in front of our eyes
he told us things we wondered about
like the glowing was from the worm's butt
and not the beads dropped from there
one by one
and like they were watching us
like we were watching them
