the world's worst day
say one day a giant thumb
hovers over covers the sky
crushes you
with no mercy
well that's what happened to the bug
crawling on my wall today
now a barely noticeable stain
against the already stained wall
outside it pours
inside it leaks
constant drilling
this surely looks like the world's worst day
not for the bug
cause she is not among us anymore
(yes, it was a she, I can attest)
I mean, for me, the world's worst day
overcast weather makes elmo sad
a giant thumb in the sky crushing everybody
thin spiky rain, no mercy
another bug crawls and I'm on my way to the bus stop

"outside it pours

makes me think of bug guts.
I also like that you've bestowed feminimity on the poor bug. I instantly worry about her orphaned children (assuming Daddy Bug met a fly swatter or the bottom of a shoe).
A good read.
