The dragonfly hovers for a moment, Then effortlessly, closely paces a car suddenly passing by, One filled with aching sore-tired workmen. They are oblivious to The mute insect "spy" outside the car's windows, Just as they are now oblivious to all: Exhausted, the men have done their workaday work well. Then just as suddenly as the dragonfly first appeared, It shoots straight upward, Disappearing.
