Lil' Miss Sunshine and I were playing on the deck
spraying water with the hose in the Florida sun
a roach headed for the back door
intent on exploring the wasteland beneath our fridge
I sprayed it with water and blasted it to the edge
I thought I'd be Zen and not stomp it to death
from it's back it righted itself and headed again towards the door
I blasted it again, off the edge of the deck
The bug spotted the neighbors door and headed that way
a grey toad jumped out of a crack behind it and swallowed the roach whole
There's a lesson in there, I know
but I don't yet know what it is.

Death waits for no cockroach.
