every little worker looks so happy taking orders
it’s incredible
they keep in line
holding up the colony’s
inner column walls
it’s magnificent
a curious design
that I should fly to plant my seed
in the queen of the honeybees
after all
she’ll definitely kill me
go back to here throne
and do it again
to another stingless drone
hurry supersedure
keeper please don’t keep her
every little worker seems so busy making honey
still I am here
in the mating yard
just waiting for my fate to change
though it never will
I still find it strange
a touch bizarre
that I’m to think these thoughts alone
with the queen of the honeybees
barely buying time
she’s too far past her prime now
breeding only drones
by summer's end
she’ll be overthrown
hurry supersedure
workers choose another virgin leader
