Ant people is what they are
teeth clattering together
out-coming syllables of
insensitive, insufferable nonsense
Pinchers cleaning after a feed
Some revolting alien dialect
Smash them, then
into the gravel
back to the maze-caves of the Underworld
the holes from which they jitter and twitch
but then pause to stretch cold joints
long, black armor-limbs
blink blank eyes upon the new sun's light
They too bask in its rays, like I
awakening the mind for another grind
warming sleepy muscles to pursue crumbs of bread
Like I
So smash, no
let them crunch and spit out uselessness
Just play instead an in-head voice-over
a compilation of wonderer's revelations
Let them crawl, let them be
slowly exoskeletons shed to flesh
antenna's recede to shags of brown
framing lively eyes
pupils recognized as Human
Humane
Words are intent
should be meant as the sun
beams to progress the colony as one
We are the same
