I sat there in the wooden office chair
My boss sits across from me
A dark wooden desk sits between us
Outside the window
The buzzing of drones serving the queen
Thoughtlessly focused on their tasks
My boss snaps me back
Another warning on my “productivity”
Maybe this time I’ll shape up
Bees leave to find flowers
But they are never far from the hive
They are shackled with a purpose to the whole
I sit in my car just before leaving for home
My wrists and neck stiff from another day's worth of tasks
I’ll be back here tomorrow
And the next day
