The drying puddle of soda
almost invisible to the eye
like the oasis in the desert
the ancient watering hole
Like elephants remembering
coming together in one place
the seven carpenter ants
all finding this space
The sugar on the counter
drawing them from the dark
out into the light where we live
causing us to shout

The ants in our kitchen
The ants in our kitchen
walking round and round
wondering what to do,
what would E.O. Wilson think?
Sugar ants and carpenters
all finding treats
across the counter
heading for the sink
Little crumbs, drops of Kool-aid
or maybe Hi-C
a splash, a spill
of someone’s last drink
There long before us
the colonies must be quite large
not knowing how to act,
what would E.O. Wilson think?

Aerosol Messages
The wondrous ant
as many as us
speaking to each other
not in words, not with sight
aerosol messages
spoken in the night

Scent Messages
Something to learn
the intricacy of their language
scent messages
blowing in the wind
Smells, not words
chemical conversation
scent, not sight, communicating
to the whole community
