Xy-loco-pa

I have a friend who will close a gentle fist around carpenter bees who stray too close. If you should stray too close, she’ll hold her fist to your ear so you can hear the strong buzz from Bee. Some people are impressed. Some are terrified. The sound brings to mind the sound of a rattlesnake, though one’s a buzz and one’s a rattle, and one’s a warning while the other is simply the normal wing- song of a gentle creature, trapped, for a few short minutes, in a human hand. ~K
