sidewalk, street walk
lit up by streetlight
at night, warm orange glow
on cement and road
glinting off the hard black bodies
of carpenter ants
running back and forth between both.
their lives seem so high speed
like ours
I mean, sometimes like mine
on a quiet street at night
I guess I always know where to go
when I want something
in between
cement and road
