There once was a time When a fool decided to create The ant. And so he bent over And formed limbs out of Twigs, out of earth, A small shiny body Out of berries and shells. And the fool dragged these Many parts around Until it was the Perfect aesthetic. This small ant. And the fool blew A tiny wind Into this body And then watched The ant stand, foolishly, Watched the ant Carry sticks and stones Forming and reforming shapes, Recreating his own creation.

The Fool and the Magician
There once was a time When a fool decided to create The ant. And so he bent over And formed limbs out of Twigs, out of earth, A small shiny body Out of berries and shells. And the fool dragged these Many parts around Until it was the Perfect aesthetic. This small ant. And the fool blew A tiny wind Into this body And then watched The ant stand, foolishly, Watched the ant Carry sticks and stones Forming and reforming shapes, Recreating his own creation.
