As an extra poetry bonus this week, here’s a true story.
all creatures dumb & small a bee has been stuck inside my garage for days. when i was younger, this would've been a cause for alarm (we were scared of bee stings back then) - but now, we know that pollinators are important, so... i've spent a couple days trying to coax this dumb insect outside - but it keeps bashing itself angrily against the window, trying to force itself between the molecules of glass to get outside - i've tried everything & failed, & now the weight of climate change along with the melting polar ice caps is on my conscience - all because this dumb winged creature can't figure out how to open a window.
