After a full-page advertisement for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in National Geographic, August 1953, and after Brewton, J. E., Ernst, M. and Lemon, B. (eds.) (1958). New Horizons Through Reading and Literature. Laidlaw Brothers, Inc., River Forest.
Little black ants &
mouthfuls of pink candy fluff:
how does medical science explain
a slender cedar?
Today, for instance,
an aerial highway
against the moonlit sky –
a heightened sensitivity.
Not a disease, but a
strange disorder
disappearing amidst
the upper branches
littered with dead &
dying ants.
