Poem
We have this cute little bird house we keep on our patio We didn’t know who would use it, perhaps a chickadee or a crow It’s too small for a pelican or an eagle to make a den so, we thought, perhaps a blue jay, a cardinal or a wren. One day to our surprise we saw something in the birdhouse lurking about… On closer inspection the hole was almost completely covered and there was something peeking out. I think, at first she was startled and that’s what made her stir… “I wonder if she’s angry.” Deborah asked, “that we’re disturbing her.” We weren’t sure what we were looking at…she was very hard to see “She can’t be angry." I replied. “She’s staying here rent free!” When we finally realized what she was…we thought it a bit absurd… There’s a bee living inside our birdhouse…that thinks she is a bird. So we have us a bee lodger…who now peeks out to say hello from the safety of a birdhouse where she’s free to come and go. We are anxious to see what happens…our imagination has been spurred by this little bee we can hardly see..who thinks she is a bird. She’s been living there for weeks now…her life protected, secure and stable and I’m pretty sure, by the wire I see, that she’s stealing our cable. And the other day when she had a packaged delivered I smiled at our new family paradigm… wondering how a bee in a birdhouse has access to Amazon Prime! But we don’t mind her idiosyncrasies as the lines between us have become a little blurred… by the bee who lives in our back yard…who thinks she is a bird.
