An Ant With A Cheeto Poem by Juan Olivarez

What power, what might,
What immense strength,
This little creature possesses.
Fifty times his weight,
And he is moving it.
Slowly,
But steadily.
From one end,
Then from the other.
Dragging it,
Pushing it,
Rolling it.
Here comes some help dude.
Two more of these,
Super little creatures.
You take that end,
You take that side,
I will pull from the front.
There they go.
Moving it steadily,
From one end,
Then the other.
Dragging it,
Pushing it,
Rolling it.
Ants,
What a trip.
