hives

Breaking out
For reasons unknown
Under the skin
A world of layers
Pockets of oils
And protein synthesis
Follicles and urea transport
A virtual industry

A pattern of circles
Or better yet hexagons
Dots from afar
But really an engine
A thousand parts revving
At precisely the same time
A lexicon of architecture
The grail for productivity
A treat you can bottle
Don't panic
Just stay still

Red and itchy
Blotchy and bumpy
Stressful situations
Ingredients in question
Blossoms of the season
A telling mess
Can't not notice
Anything the matter
Problems at home
Drugs
Some condition
Edgy behavior
A real shame
Lasts about an hour

Three go in
Four fly out
Gathering society
With a serious weapon
Fear is not borne
Nor conditioned
Building an empire
Takes several seasons
Predators exist
But reasonably rare
And so work goes on
Leaving time to explore
With a grand motivation
