Sayreville
I worry when the
beans and sauerkraut.
Ordinarily,
the culinary pair brings
true satisfaction.
Now, I am disturbed
knowing the state’s highways
are
driven by hot dogs.
summary of a critical scene in "The Savage Bees" (1976)
On Ash Wednesday in New Orleans , a silver knight rides the hood of a slowly-moving red Volkswagen, retaining his poise with a firm handle on a windshield wiper, a box containing the New Queen Bee nestled in his other arm, driving towards a hot dog stand where the Savage Bees are swarming. the knight tells the driver to shut the windows, close the vents, and keep in constant walkie-talkie chatter with the assistant medical examiner. he slowly approaches the hot dog stand, and he becomes ketchup. two intoxicated Mardi Gras pirates cannot curb their hunger, racing through the sheriff’s roadblock in their yellow convertible, driving into the swarm, becoming mustard. the driver’s anguish attracts the bees, and the Bug becomes a hive. she drives to the Superdome, and the swarm acquiesces to the air conditioning. fun fact: the silver knight was one of the Magnificent Seven.
