bees of the fury

going further was no longer a choice
it had become a thing of condition

he felt it like waves
rolling in

each new tide
could mean murder or religion
so many things had become uncertain

in the middle of it all he sat
saying things like aha

the weather here oh
it shines now
where it used to shake

there are so many things to consider
when setting out to establish
a new cult

what, for instance, will we wear
and what attitude will we adopt?

it won't do at all to be complacent
for we are not merely rats

but now examples to all humanity
in our long-tailed sunshine
our incessant whirling
our devastating umbrella
of all that is new and holy

O how we advance inwards
knowing no caution
but the bees aloft
