The wasp
was ready to be born.
He made a point of it,
pushing the brittle crust
of his gray paper chamber,
lifting himself from the cup
on ochre legs
that throbbed with perfect malice.
O he was mean and able
but nifty from the first.
I think it's a pretty trick
to be created finished.
Take Adam or Athena
  or the wasp.
