the sugar bag

a colony of black
ants
has formed a line
and found
the sugar
bag open
in the cupboard.
it's a glorious
day for them.
each carrying
beyond their
weight a white
sweet grain
off to their distant
land. they are
so orderly
and neat, that you
decide to let
them be and go
about their
mischevious ways,
as God, so far,
has done for you.
