Enchanted
“You’ve caused another ruckus, “he said. A whole colony lost its sense, its order and every little one is every little place. I watch the horizon noticing an odd purple. “You did do it on purpose!” he said, ignoring how hard I tried. I wore white gloves. I wore a tiara, sharpened my teeth and I didn’t draw blood. Not even once.
I heard, “Why can’t you just___” and then there was music or it may have been a buzzing or I may have just stopped listening. If I wasn’t so wild, I’d be someone with clean feet who can’t follow a scent. Consider this carefully while you step in my tracks if you don’t want to end up with a street altar. A blurry picture from high school and all those sad balloons. Wax mixes on the sidewalk and the traffic glances.
Just stand still and the ants will line up again naturally, instinctively. It was just a little water anyway. No one’s curls really fell and the white gowns are still white gowns give or take a stain. They’re swirling down the hole already. I won’t fit through that opening. I won’t even try. I’ll be on the branch. See? Side by side cocoons and each chrysalis a mystery. Wait.
