Reread the poem “Bat.” The poet compares bats to what during the day?

All day bats drowse in houses' eaves

Like tents collapsed for storage,

But when dusk darkens, like fall leaves,

They loosen. Then they forage

For juicy june bugs, meaty moths,

Mosquitos (eaten rare).

They're scary. But there's nothing like

A bat to clear the air.

• scary

• clear air

• juicy bugs

• a folded tent
