New spring on warwick blvd

 

Bumblebees aviate

drunkenly

around cherry blossoms

in the pollen-muddled breeze.

.

Whitepink shuddering flowers,

yellowblack pelted bodies

b l u r

everything sways

over sweaty,

sun-ripened brick.

 

Police siren howls,

cherry blueberry lights

like summer pies.

A glorified tantrum

with screeching tires.

 

Arrest the bees

for loitering,

for breaking and entering

silky saccharine petals,

for being elated! drunks.

 

No-

the officers speed past

blazing red, then blue, then red

after a black Honda Fit.
