The Stagger of the Bumblebee – v2

Like a drunk who had a bit too much
or maybe the dance of the scarecrow;
The uncut scenes of Oz
so long, so long ago.

The stagger of the bumblebee
as if on toddler’s legs;
Lurching from bloom to bloom
finding little peace.

Such urgent work they are on,
never stopping to enjoy;
The beauty of each blossom
no rest for those in flight.

The Stagger of the Bumblebee
over the last week or two
watching the bees on the rhododendron
Suncook, NH

& see cut screen of dance of the scarecrow
from the Wizard of Oz
