because they can

Ants march through the grass

Bees top the dandelions

Clouds heavy with rain

ya know

Listen to a bee

As it hums and buzzes ‘round

Task oriented

Observe the squirrel

Gathering nuts for a meal

Wanting just to eat

Watch that ant scurry

With a load thrice its own size

Doesn’t know it can’t
