There is a wasp in the house
the kind the Internet sites say
if you get stung you might as well
fall down and start screaming
cuz it will hurt like hell
i close all the doors
don’t want surprise attack in the night
I keep my eye on it
as it looks up at me
content in some crumpled paper
If it moves I will hear it
when it claws at the paper
a rustling sound to let me know
it is on the move
For days it has been on the front porch
menacing flight to keep us from opening the door
I should have let Anna kill it with the hose
Now it found a way inside
when our guard was down
Is it starting a nest
laying eggs or coming here to die
I could trap it suck it up in the vacuum
throw the big dictionary on it
or get the bug spray
Or do nothing and hope for the best
The only book bigger than our dictionary
is Constitutional Law
I could drop both on it
but first I will bake an apple pie
