INTERVIEW WITH A SKEPTIC OF COLONY COLLAPSE DISORDER.

Einstein theorized “No bees / No people”

but I see plenty of folks

especially in Wal Mart—

& haven’t we been Post-Colonial for, like

300 years by now? I mean

so a colony collapses, that’s Capitalism, Bub

a replacement comes along w/ honeycomb

& queens & drones & palm buzzers

how many Conspiracies-in-Science

before Gov’t places a Warm Day Tax

Einstein should’ve theorized “High taxation”

& sorry—no, the critters can’t overtake

another hive—instead of Pollination Reform

these bees oughta get off their lazy knees.
