Hive

The Queen
obvious to all who dare notice,
knows no peer.
Drones rush in to orbit in frenetic
sublimation;   workers dutifully push
the floor buttons of departure
destinations,
releasing squadrons of gatherers
eager to conquer cubicles of source
data.

The Queen    with mysterious grace,
wisely chooses reproduction mates
with visionary lineal accomplishment;

handheld devices whir complex
commands.

......not a word uttered

                                in the elevator.

Very well written; many levels of understanding to explore. Was reminded of the games we plan on our computers--virtual reality I guess. We are all drones or subjects to a degree. Really got me thinking with this one.

What an unusual theme for a poet - a bee hive. I think that it would be nice if all poets were for peace - I don't believe that are - or were always for peace. Keep writing for the "soup" - I know I will. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
