Written While Sitting in My Car During a Rain Shower as I Watched Traffic on Interstate 90

Did you know that 90% of the world’s bees
Are solitary? They live hive-less.

I was stunned to learn this. Those hermit-monks—
Winged and many-eyed—worship

In solitude. What is their theology?
Are they risen or fallen? I’ve decide to believe

Their churches are the flora
And their gods are the pollen.
