Family Gathering

Flitting furtively from 
family member to 
family member
like a truly bumbling bee
frantically, frenetically flying 
from flower to flower
frustrated at his failure
to discern the nectar of love
amongst the resentments,
the caretaker drone
strays unwittingly
into the mouth
of the family dog,
saving the others
from themselves
