Hands

When I stuck my hand out to the black snake,

it bit me.

And when I reached to touch the bees nest,

I got stung.

This could be a poem

about the danger of nature,

and how beautiful things can hurt you.

But instead its about humans,

And how they are always

Touching things that they shouldn't.
