Yes, I saw him (maybe her)
Just yesterday
He was alone
Exploring our bathroom.
Normally you would see him
In line, tandem running with thousands of his fellow workers
In two lines back and forth
Harvesting some source of nourishment
For the bivouac.
For a moment
I thought of myself as a myrmecologist.
(Interesting word eh?! Yes, I just came across it and wanted to use it)
This little nanitic (Whoops! There's another one.)
Was off on a solo mission
To locate bounty for the bivouac and maybe the Queen.
Courageous I thought...
Adventurous I thought...
But in my bathroom? (I thought)
Then, I got a little antsy so I took him out with my forefinger.
Now, the ant 'sleeps with the fishes.'
