they run around looking for patterns
	        those blasted ants should
be happy				            they even have bread to eat
			with their miserable tithes
		of palm tree leaves 
they lamentedly wave
			to the fleeting warmth of a 
			yellow moon
				with eyes like melting
				rotting butter
bleaching the perfect soil
with their ugly mouths
			preaching from their flower
		waiting, wanting to die
	with some nature of a profound grace
	that will never
	ever
	come
