Last year I was able to
trap a bee
behind a cage of glass.
The drink emptied
I put the dome on top of it
Transparent view
the bee was looking through
I blew some smoke
into its room
and I told the bee
that it was me
But she didn’t see
or notice
trapped between smoke and mirrors
and a small insect brain.
The right thing to do
the so called golden rule
do so as it should to you
so treat it
like I want to be;
pressed dead,
wiped off,
clean,
and not remembered
as I seem to be alive and thinking
