Ants

Today I watched an ant crawling in a windowsill - six legs pulling the fragile red skeleton forward and backward, along walls and upside down; antenna failing wildly in search of food or its way back home - and through the glass I could see a part of what I thought to be our high school campus, but it wasn't so - my eyes perceived it to be and ocean of concrete, or even an urban jungle if you will - and upon seeing these things I thought to myself, “In this vast world, even the tiniest of creatures - the ant - knows its purpose, but what is mine?”
