The Ant

Damn ants-
found one
walking on 
my good glass table.

grabbed a napkin
pinched it over
the black body.

there's something 
so unnatural
about having a bug 
in your home.
how the hell
do they roam in anyway?

You'd think 
the rest of the world
would be room enough
for one little black bug.

Forgive me Caren. I never meant it to be so callous. I make every effort to escort a bug back outside whenever possible. The poem is a voice and does not reflect my personal feelings on the matter. All my best Allen
