Bumblebee

Marie Nunalee
blockage no. 8

a bumblebee, Kamikaze pilot
in disguise, balancing ancillary,

damp sidewalk-situated, papier
mache pinions flashing faintly.

six coarse-haired legs flicker for the
troubleshoot-detection of external

demise; antennae circuits flip on,
flip off, blow fuses red and bright.
