Fun with erasures

Wave Books obligingly supplies texts that you can erase on screen - what fun!
It's almost a poem ... after a bit of editing, even more of an almost-poem ... yet it won't be an "erasure poem" without the erased spacing.

Insects

small and contemptible,
we wonder and discover
as much as
we can imagine

different parts
with the power of action

the work of the hand
capable of pleasure
as well as cruelty
