In grade three I was jealous of the boy
who had an EpiPen, Aaron. With it,
he could survive peanuts. Like a videogame
egg it was hidden elsewhere to be uncovered
during moments of kingdom crisis.
In China, workers weave through fields
pulling paintbrushes across crops
for pollination, the bees gone, fallen
onto sidewalks, a billion yellow blossoms
