Great interpretation of consciousness. It’s amazing how little we pay attention to something so small, or even so big for that matter.

If you’ve ever lived in a tropical country, you won’t ignore the ants. We used to call them Pharoah’s Army.

aloha Ron – outstanding observation and a great comparison in the ku – i like that. way cool on the image as well connecting both ant and man yet again (as i take that to be the surface of a walk way or side walk) very cool on that layering. aloha.

We ignore insects at our own peril! I enjoyed this one very much!

Excellent haiku.
I take one exception – I never ignore ants who try to move in to live with me.
