bee and bear

I bear up and down 
like a fuzzy one 
only now I have wings 
and antennae on, 
and my hivelike mind's
making honey in combs 
swelling up so sweet 
fit for queens and drones.
Yet it's only me, here, 
and I'm only me there. 
I am huge and astute 
with omnivorous care. 
And the honey that rises 
and courses my veins 
is pumped by a heart 
that just bearly remains.
