New Friends

Together they worked. 

Nodding to one another. 

Laboring together. 

Searching for treasure. 

Here? 

Or here? 

Often their efforts rewarded. 

Marching thro seas of useless things,

To claim that which they sought. 

Sometimes frantically. 

Sometimes stoically. 

Always persistent. 

My new friends. 

Unwelcome tho they be. 

Meet the ants.
