a wasp & an ant converge on a cloying plant blithe on each other

the moth is still.
is it alive or dead?
how patient am i?

How much grander must the world seem
closer to the ground,
a grass forest within the forest
with layered forest sounds?
Or would one be cut off from
the vaulted dome of sky,
and have one’s world shrink to
the limits of one’s eye?
If an ant thought it saw everything,
but only viewed a slice,
would its tiny ant mind have contracted a basic human vice?

a grasshopper
lands on dappled granite;
becomes a statue

a butterfly
sits in the road, until
a car passes

monochrome moth,
but for its yellow cape,
looks pencil drawn
