âModalâ is an ambiguous word to use in this way. I presume you are delirious to see how I will affirm the logical qualification in the proposition that makes it possible, necessary, contingent, etc. But the word could also show your concern over my mood or emotional tranquility, which tender thought is much appreciated.
The poem is more far-fetched, judging from the comments than I thought it was. I wanted to say that I was struck with a similarity between worker bees and some women I know who love the nest (house or hive) more than anything else it seems. Hallmark gives it another twist with the girls school (nest) and a girl who fears to leave its familiarity. Eventually she has to leave and go to work, but she wants most to return.
