Not Just One Story
Are all ants nameless,
or just nameless to us?
Do the ants remember
the one brave scout
that found a new place to build
when their home was threatened?
Does that ant live on
in name and fame,
like a heroic knight to the queen?
Do the ants remember
the ant that recognized the danger,
the ant that convinced them to move,
the ant that designed their new hill?
Do the ants remember
those who died on the journey
to their new home?
Do the ants remember
the queen who trusted her followers
and lead them in a grand exodus?
Do the ants have heroes like we do?
The story of a moving ant colony
is not just one ant’s story.
It’s never just one story.
