The Ant

Post by patrick traveler » October 16th, 2011, 6:38 am

Climbing up my naked leg,
this intrepid ant should be
squashed flat for his temerity.
My hand is poised above the brake of hair
in which the struggling pilgrim tickles me.
Ignorance has surely led him there,
which must explain why I still hesitate
to end his foolish trek--
as hopeless as my own.

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

hopes that the ant continued its life unscathed
&
appreciation for the wisdom stimulated
