[lyrics]

[minor chord sweeps]

A bee lands on my window pane,
thirsty and drained
from the long distance relationship with her hive.
I wonder and ask her…

— “Are you still not retired?”

Because, for 74years, she’s been coming back and forth
-flower
-beehive
- queen
- worker
- this apartment
- workplace, house, boss, colleague, me - a harsh routine

Can I offer you a cup
of sugar liquid
in a water bottle cap?
She takes a sip and flies away
Doesn’t say thank you
because it’s a bee
and we don’t speak the same language
