Simple

from a simple mind

awareness

has seldom slumbered
to acquaintance

of simple things

 

often, still

I stop

 

and wonder
in awe
at the ways of ants

They attacked me with vicious persistence when I stepped on their meal stump while painting my fence. I was not so awed by them at the time. lol

lol..I'm sure they would have done the same to me. As Ed mentioned, they don't negotiate :)
