THE CRICKET: A BEING WITH A PLAN

IN THE WARM SHOWER THE CRICKET STOOD
DAMPENED AND HOPPING MORE SLOWLY
WHILE I DECIDED WHETHER IT LIVED OR DIED
NOT GIVING IN TO THE IMPULSE TO SNUFF IT WITH A TISSUE
OR SMACK IT FLAT WITH A HEAVY HAND

IT WAS THEN AS I CONTEMPLATED IT'S FATE THAT I REALIZED
IT WAS A BEING WITH A PLAN
AS IT SLIPPED THROUGH A STRATEGIC SMALL OPENING
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS DOOR
