Beeswise

(A thought-ridden man once found himself floating beside a bee in a dream. Startled by its casual assurance, he asked the speedy being for advice.)

Wand’ring bee o wand’ring bee,
Wings of wonder wear thy thee!
Say it, oh, now make no face,
Thy wisdom wrong doth leave no trace.

(Halted midflight, the bee, bemused, answered thus.)

Man, o lost o wond’ring man,
Reason’s foe, o doom’s own plan!
Why think, wise fool, when pace
Can blur from sight this barren place?
