"The Inappropriate Helplessness of Being"

The Inappropriate Helplessness of Being

In this world,
there are things
that will hurt
other things--
honey is stolen from bees.
Enraged, they fly in
crazy eights,
shredding the air
searching for the thief.
There are no maps
but there are
clues in many ways.
