today i rode the train
and noticed a bee
outside the window.
as the train gathered speed
i thought the bee
would be left behind
but no
it stayed
clinging valiantly
with invisible force
to the vertical glass surface
separating it and i.
and after some time
when the the train ducked
underground
picking up speed
the bee relinquished
probably fatigued
from holding on for so long
for what
i will never know.
