SELECTIVE MORALITY

But it's one of God's creatures
she tells me, this woman who
defines the unpardonable sin
as cruelty to animals. She
will not set mousetraps.

She will allow me to do
so but thinks less of me
for it. Come summer and,
God help me (for I cannot
help myself), as I see her slap
and dispatch a mosquito.
I give her my best grin:
"But it's one of God's creatures."
