The Ant

Yes, I saw him (maybe her)

Just yesterday

It was alone

Exploring our bathroom.

Normally you would see it

In line, tandem running with thousands of 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.

(No I didn't but 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.'
