Wasp as amiable fascist

First the eye grope, then
  the eighth-of-a sec
lag of pure wasp speed

(my bare arm o morte!)

 The loner comes, while the
  infinitesimal's a slit,
and tumbles in, cross-wise

(oh, poor long withdrawing
  head)—

 he sings his blades, the way
  larva its own filth
at the end of day, in rain
  or hair

The first line in parentheses made me chuckle; the second made me laugh out loud. Thanks for this, priceless to read on a Monday morn. Cheers.

Thanks S.L.

Once it was the poor 'gypsy moth', now the wasp. They're worthy of poetry, too
