Sinful Ant
🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜 🐜
I watch a tiny smart aleck ant
Stroll across my kitchen counter
Right here alongside my arm
While I wait for my coffee
Nervy little insect is ignores me
So I put my hand in front of him
He turns and goes the other way
I’m thinking he is a smart ant
They work hard
They’re industrious creatures
He knows not to mess with me
And I’ve read how we are all one
Connected in some mysterious way
Me, the ant, and the universe
I’ll let him live but he better know
I’m the ant god here in my house
And he is but my lowly subject
And he’s to bend to my moods
Even if they’re capricious
I alone decide whether he live
Or whether he die
So he avoids me like a good ant
He turns away without angering me
I don’t see where he goes
But I let him go
My coffee is ready
I put in the sweetner
And go sit at my table
But there’s something on my arm
I ignore it since he wouldn’t dare
But up my arm it tickles
Then it’s on my neck
I kill it
Squish it between my thumb and forefinger
I don’t know whether it screamed
Or if its colony needed him
I don’t care
Stupid ant
