is there a difference?

i feel for the worm
scrunched tight along the curve
of the sharp hook.
now bait for fish.
still wiggling despite
being cut into thirds.
what and why
he must have felt
and thought
from either end,
head or tail,
(is there a difference?)
as he was pulled
from the soft
cold ground, burrowing,
and now this.
boxed and carried
to the lake,
what's a worm to do?
or any of us,
me or you?
