Impertinent guests

Appreciate

The wasp stings to kill, cordially

dies as a token payment for your

thrill, be kind and play dead, with

polite intention, just like guests

in hotels filled with stars, that

understand they never were from

this place, neither in word nor

heart. So touch your chest and

depart from the exquisite service

rendered by a wasp

Dear J.C.

I'm in sunny California right now, where the killer bees fly, I'm told. I read they've been bred by us to produce more honey,- we kill for our sweeteners. A very human trait, don't you think? Anyway, thanks for lending your eye to this one, Jay. Not the most serious write, but it's a light break from all things dark. But what I'm most happy for is the idea it gave you. Very curious, so please tell me when you're done. Yours, Espen.

Hello

Give homage to the wasp. I never would have thought of it. Always, Cat

Dear Cat

Nature does not always want us here, but the wasp understands this in a way many others don't. A very romantic take on things, I guess. And homage, yes,- give it to the thing you despise the most. It will yield interesting results. Thanks for reading, Cat. Yours, Espen.
