I felt bad – for a moment – to
watch the bee twitch to
see his two front legs
flail crazed on his
back jacked
from the cup
I had smushed
through his middle I
felt bad – for an instant – as
I crushed his bee head
with a rock – that
buddha stuff
says not to
kill things & I
shall very well go
to hell but it was
such a human
reaction when his
fuzzy bee bottom
grazed my
lip as I took a
sip of coffee & then
glanced in the
cup to see
the bee
so gleeful
& merry
as he
tainted the
last drop
of joe.
