A N T S
by Indira Sinton
the little packets are almost classy
smooth, plastic, shimmering
(a little like bistro take-out containers)
full of poison
such countermeasures
are strategically placed
one over pizza crumbs
red bodied
antennas protruding
towards its delectable, toxic goals
not unlike another group
of somewhat larger bugs
