Bumble Bees

Aqua – Aquarius

My father had an idea.

All of a sudden, he was interested in bees.

Without an education.

It were the last months, for my exam.

My mother was not there.

It was warm, under my roof.

I was studying, the last exams,

the last days. I was busy, for longer than an hour.

Suddenly, I heard someone screaming through my music.

It was my father.

It was not a bad idea,

I knew the phone number of the doctor.

At first, I comforted him.

Then, I ran to another room,

the other chamber.

He was there, faster than 1 minute.

Apparently, he had an allround key.

He was with me, up on the stairs!

He gave my father an injection

and, together, Dr. Vioen and I

got him into his bed.

He said, I did the right thing.

After that, I was watching my father

for, perhaps, two hours and a half.

He started to drink, some water.

He asked, me, what happened.

I explained, the whole accident, short.

Slowly, he returned to his bed.

I did not watch, him, no longer.

A doctor, never thinks twice

and is clear, very clear without

one moment of time.

It was the best thing.
