Ants

I have so little control over

anything in my life but I can kill

all you little motherfucking ants

I work hard, every day, I sweat

in a way I give what I have to

give away which means I make

money, I can afford poison,

so though I have no control

on anything else in my life,

I will kill every last one of

you m***********s.

I can see you are quiet vital and busy writer . You post quiet often new poetry. I cannot actually write like more then 2 pieces per day. I cannot let them go . If I write more i don't think so it will be so great but anyway.


Here I can see again some insect poetry. Or those ants are just symbol for something bigger. Maybe potential metaphor how Rome Empire parish at ashes of Barbarians and other tribes. Or it's can be some poor folk with low wages cannot even afford some defence against to miniature aliens. Or it's can be about mind control when one person have no more control only what he can do is violent act. I guess there can be lot of meaning but i let anybody else to figured out. Great multiply write like always and on forever.

I write in bursts, and some of it is complete s**t but it leads me to something greater. I try not to think about it too much. I think you and I have a lot in common with the unconscious poetry, maybe slightly different editing styles.

Here is how I am cooking my poems. I write from total emptiness let one day to cool off under my bed. Then I return start to pull of of theme plus creating stanza I tried to also make each stanza with each other make nice graphic design . So is not bothering me when I read when at one stanza is one line too short and second too long. Then I start to write some more under influence what is already wrote . Shake it well put more acid beats with stone rock riffs and poem is ready and you can eat it. I develop this process during the years of writing. But I feel it's best for me. Actually today I will be post one poem where I created stanza already at head . It's call true man Capote. You can again take something from it. Yeah Capote was not just king of short stories but also higher celebrity life style. And his style was actually more at poetic style then at traditional American realism.

If this is literally about ants, I can relate to your frustrations. After three professional exterminations, they're still here. And every single time I had to give my precious free time to packing twenty years of stuff up in boxes -three times a year. They're still crawling though - hate insects.

Yeah, literally ants is what inspired this... lol. They are invading me. But I napalmed them with bug poison to stop the invasion and it got me thinking. I have so little control over what happens in my life, but I can control the damn ants with poison. Trying to connect personal experience to something a lil bigger... But yeah. F**k those ants lol.

I hear ya. I got those pint sized red ones, that eat things like Crisco, fish, and savory items while they don't get into flour, oatmeal, or on fruits. Weird little b******s. Good luck with getting rid of yours.
