Eternal Commute

each ant scurries
the melodrama plays on
directed misdirection
  the constant hurry

nor rhyme nor reason
  rules the roost
when whirl and bump
  are what's produced

I've observed this in ants, but I'm wondering if you are writing metaphor here. I think that last stanza could have been written after a visit to the mall during the holiday season, eh?

Ants are on that bridge to nowhere, it seems. ... Hope all is well with you, Evelyn. Take good care, Gershon
