The Ant
January 10, 2017
Raisins sprawled out on the grass.
He enters with eyes wide open-knowing there’s work to do.
Each raisin as important as the next.
Pause.
He’s comprehending his blueprints.
Resumes.
Stacking each like brick’s to a building.
Higher and higher it climbs,
like the temperature on a hot summer day.
The tower as tall as my big toe.
Finished.
He looks up for a consent of approval.
Thumbs up.
He makes his way to the next job.
