Electric Ant
The hill is alive
Marching soldier
Plugged into the hive
Follows the scent trail of the world before him
Winter is closing in
Food stores and Disney Plus
Take turns as kingpin
It's all about what's current
And holds a charge
Technological holdouts
Form an orderly line to the graveyard
The rest do their very best
To keep up with progress
Inspired by Philip K. ****'s short story, "The Electric Ant" (1969).
