“Ant crawling up the wall
How do you know you won’t fall?”

“I have wings that support me
I am unconfined by gravity.
Don’t you have wings to support your all?
How else can you support your haul?”

  I am silent, for but a moment.
  Remembering from whence I’d known it.

  “Wings I used to have
    But now an empty back
      – is all I have left.
    I’ve abandoned my wings
   To gain my haul.
  Though, now I figure
   There’s no worth to it
      If I’m going to fall.”
