INDIFFER ANTS

 

 

To outwit indiffer ants
outflank their think tanks.
Infiltrate their vigil ants.
Erase their memory banks.

Then watch the domin ants
run around confused
about their pulled-down pants
and their power defused.

 

 

 

 

MISS T

 

 

miss tease sees him
miss tease seize him
miss tease ease him
misty seas hymn
