nothing against the bug
crawling
up the wall,
but when i was younger
i'd roll up
a newspaper
and take him
out.
extinguish his life
without a thought.
but i don't now.
i carefully lift him
towards the window,
where he surprises me
by spreading his wings
to fly away.
have i really changed?
or is it just
today?
