summer is a good time
for sitting outside
listening to cicadas
and wondering about ants.

do they get confused
if they get on a bus
by accident
and end up far away
from their home?

does an ant feel
scared does an ant feel
loss does an ant
worry about the future
because he hasn't found a job yet
and he can't afford to live--

probably not.
what does he know
he's just an ant
