City of Holographic Ants

two-legged ants dart
around & through
a holographic city
overcome by
  an illusion of order
overwhelmed by
  a terrestrial constellation 
  under cacophonous con(de)struction

six-legged ants dutifully
transport breadcrumbs to tiny 
chasms in the mottled dirt
where cool dark silence 
briefly mollifies
  a holographic planet
  under careless (de)construction
