The Bumblebee

Impossible Flight

the
bumblebee 
doesn't 
know she
looks
too plump
to fly. 

but
she flaps 
her wings
back 
and forth
not up and
down,

wings
that
whisk air
into 
whirlwinds,
like mini 
hurricanes.

in the eye 
of those
tempests
the air 
pressure
drops,

eddies of
air form
above
her
elastic
wings,

providing
the miracle
up lift
needed to
keep her
aloft.

For the Record,
This day came in sunny and cooler.

All hands busy
