sidewalk cemetary

early yesterday morning was a nice time to walk. it was about 6:30. foggy. crisp. there wasn't anyone around either which made it that much better. i ended up finding 14 dead bees scattered all under one tree on the sidewalk. the 5 that i was able to pull up from the cement made it home in my hand and as i gazed down at them i noticed one still moving a little-the last seconds of life. i thought for a second maybe they would all come back to life when reaching the warmth of my apartment. that didn't happen of course but reminded me of the phenomenon where flies are able to hibernate in a way-coming back to life after being frozen. try it. or don't.
