the impossible journey

the one small ant,
an adolescent ant, perhaps,
has found
his way
onto my desk.
he or she seems lost
going from mouse to book
to pen
then back.
a feeling i know quite well.
some how, on some
seemingly impossible
journey it's made its
way up
the brick, from the yard
and into the window
then crawled 
up the side of my crumb
laden desk.
will he put the word out
with his fine
antennae and inform 
the rest of them?
