Poking sticks into wasp nests





Poking sticks into wasp nests:
a dangerous hobby,
stupid and pointless
almost suicidal -

any sensible mind would conclude.



And yet...

The Rabbit

Brown bunny sites inside his burrow
Till everything is still,
Then out he slips along the furrow,
Or up the grassy hill.

He nibbles all about the bushes,
Or sits to wash his face,
But at a sound he stamps, and rushes
At a surprising pace.

You see some little streaks and flashes,
A last sharp twink of white,
And down his hidy-hole he dashes
And disappears from sight.

When

When I’m on your lawn
You all go quiet
Hoping to catch me

I am listening
Though still

When you get too close
I take off
Stretching myself out
To twice my length

Don’t follow or
If you do

Prepare to shrink
And tumble to strange dark

(Brian Swann)

I already have my shrinking cookie. What do I do now?

You eat it! And then explore the magic: you're in wonderland.
