Speed of Light

  The Ants Are Waking

 

 

The ants are sleeping

on the leaves

of the tomato plants

in my back yard.

When they wake they’ll

stretch and move

their heads around

like people.

I watch them start their

day in lines of thousands

falling into

place behind each other,

like robots,

like you and me

waiting for the bus.
