fine art disposed of

it's a beautiful thing.

this

hornets nest.

i knock it to the ground with

a long

stick.

dried

and empty

at winters start,

but a work of art.

an amazing

thing.

the intricate

web

of cones.

paper thin.

i think about taking it

home,

maybe spray

painting it, turning it

into a lamp

shade

of some sort, but don't

of course.

i drop it into the bag,

and place it in

a can,

for the man on Monday.
