To Bee or Not, buzzer Options

To Bee or not to Bee

Another close of day, and rain
pulsed on the building in tintinnabulation.
This was not my choice of evening, but
ducks should be dancing with pleasure.

Another day in the jungle – feeling wiped
and horrified at the thought of fighting traffic
through squares of manmade symmetry.
As I waited at a light, I wondered
why our world was square.

And I wondered why the bee,
that architect of perfection,
had chosen the hexagon as its design,
but man is smarter than a bee
and not as fragile.

And I wondered why I wore my dress pants
on a day destined to be bucketing
till I remembered – man is smarter than a bee.

Luverly stuff Merlin - such a great use of the word tintinnabulation, not a word that pops up often in everyday conversation.
Possibly when God/evolution/or whatever developed the bee, the use of the ergonomically practical hexagon was offered as a suggestion to stupid mankind.

A linguistic aside. Although I completely understood your phrase, 'dress pants'; to a Brit such as me, a 'dress' is a garment worn by ladies on slightly formal occasions; and, 'pants' are undergarments, worn by gentlemen beneath their trousers. The visual image conjured up by the thought of you, driving about clad only in your, 'dress pants' gave me a big smile before breakfast.
