(a time piece in space) behind yonder face the fat queen lays indolent subjects scurry blind a hive of activity driving each day into night. © Harry J Horsman 2017

We all serve the fat queen, and the fat king; the secret, as you say, is the blind scurry--not to over-think some things. Time and space are lost in the activity, even if it is just maintenance of a sort. That's why health spas are everywhere. Great read, Harry!

Nicely done, Harry; amazing how creatures so small seem to have capacity for thought so large and complex as a hive.

In space, huh? I was thinking of a recent movie I saw on some old history of Queen Victoria and a subject Abdul who she grew fond of. I sure enjoyed this!
