Specimen

What is the name of those little bugs
whose backs are stencilled with 
a Mondrian-like design? —squares 
within squares in a grid of black and 
green, spots of red in between.
They like to linger on the siding
around the mailbox and the lamp,
meticulous as pendants or cufflinks.
Some days, the humdrum walls
look curated, like in museums.
So much amassed inventory, 
not all tagged and labeled; 
miniature pans of color that look as if
they'd bloom with the merest touch.
