As the various kings of the various ant hills
rise to greet another day celebrating their greatness,
someonein a hut, in a hove, mind flushed out by the pain
of childbirth, sits thinking and feeling, turning at last from
the rising sun to fix words or notes or images or numbers
to nearby waiting surfaces that will for a blessed while
absolutely and perfectly undercut those tiny assholes'
hold on power.
