my dad never runs from bees
but I run from bees
does that mean I am not a man?
bees are small and evil little yellow and black things
that cause you pain
but everyone still wants to save them
I want to kill them all
but if we kill them all we all also
die
this is called nature
it sucks
it is an absurdist joke in bad taste
I was outside of a wedding when it happened
the bee
I ran from it
an old woman watched me
and I could see in her eyes she thought
“that’s not a man”
and I thought
bees are dumb
this is dumb
everything is dumb
why aren’t you running from the bee
you crazy old bitch

Beautiful! My husband was stung by a wasp yesterday, right beside the left eye. Face swollen, eye closed…very scary indeed!
