fugitive raze have you ever heard the beating of an insect's wings after it's been trapped inside a bunched-up tissue? i have. i caught a carpenter ant crawling across my leg this afternoon. i trapped it before it could fly away. i held the captive arthropod to my ear and listened. i heard a human voice sobbing into a kazoo. frantic and full of fear. it startled me. i was going to flush the ant down the toilet. instead, i opened the front_door, uncoiled the cotton holding cell, and watched it fly away, knowing it was doomed to die as soon as it found a mate, shattered by the act of making_love. 230410 what's it to you? who go blather from
