Stay Away From Her

New mommy in town was different other moms, no grace She wore some kind of a hood that hid her secretive face Concealed her baby, would not let any of us see Sometimes angled in front of its face, a live bumblebee We other moms kept away from her at the store or park. Heard she tore wings off of butterflies for a lark. The rumors got worse the longer she stayed around. She is horrible I told everyone with gestures and sound. You don’t even know her! My neighbor chastised me. But I have heard the rumors, I told her most snottily. Have you seen that bumblebee for yourself? she asked. I don’t have to I told her rudely, diving back into my flask.
