    The apartment house is likened to a filing cabinet, where individual lives are organized and stored away identically with little space or freedom. The residents swarm like bees in a hive, confined to cramped identical cells they call home. This poem suggests modern urban living in apartment buildings results in a loss of individuality and privacy, with people living in small, uniform spaces like worker bees in a crowded hive.
