I'll See You Soon Poem by Estefano Molina

I watched it go up slowly
zig-zagging and circling the pole
searching for food maybe
it was a small fire ant
I found it captivating
but extremely peculiar
it was by itself
you normally see these insects in groups
never alone
it was strange
so I watched it a bit longer
as it made its way up the pole
I thought there for a few minutes
maybe its going to its final stop
to its final resting place
Once it was about level with my eyes
with the palm of my hand
I stopped its journey short
it was gonna die anyways
