I feel like that bee,
in the train car,
flying back and forth
pursuing the comfort of a warm flowery bed
with tiny pollen particles sticking to my feet
as fluffy slippers at home
and a sweet nectar to soothe my thirst.
But the the only flower
is the one on that lady’s blouse
the rest is metal, cloth and plastic.
The bee finds a tiny crack
in the car lights and sneaks inside
warm and away from the clanking noise.
