Inconspicuous Queendom

A slab of cracked concrete pavement Permanently fixed in a row Of similar, less damaged slabs Exists a miniaturized realm. Within the fracture grows a few, Tiny clumps of unnoticed grass And a single dandelion. Deep within the dark cavity A colony of zealous ants Ruled by a single fertile queen Work in well defined labor crews. A team of seven working high Atop the yellow nectar globe Begin their long laden descent.
