The
Wasp
I
am the reluctant introvert,
With
the training to promote myself.
Once
a seemingly natural ability,
But
proving waning with time.
I
am the wasp hovering over your head,
Three
feet away, I spectate, I view,
Translucent,
retrieving your precious nectar
With
both hands,
My
unsuspecting lovers of earth.
