While the globe crawls as
S L O W
as my bill is thin,
I've got places to go,
sunsets to chase
and mighty, invisible wings
to feed, so
bring on the sugar water!
Feathers flickering furiously;
sweet Jesus!
where are my feet?
I am BUZZING through today,
routes as long as my tongue
repeated in an
unbroken line
thousands of times,
hey, *******, you goon!
That's MY nectar!
Scram!
Planning my daily rounds,
relying on the donations
of fans who eye my turf war
with childish glee
and I hope
beyond hope to see
pitcher after sweet pitcher
waiting for me
Because neglect is starvation,
an end to the thrum
of tiny hearts.
