Ant on the Wire
Along the wires That connect my laptop to the mutiple pins That connect my mobile to its charger That connect the speakers to its charger That connect my camera to its charger - Wires, looped, coiled, twisted, splayed like intestines pulled out - Along the wires walks an ant.
It could be walking (?) through an unending maze Entrance and exit confused A path directionless, destination-less .
What is the ant looking for - food, I presume Though I would like to fantasize That the ant is searching for - Meaning of life? Ho ho ho!
Through the haze of smoke that drifts up from the cigarette I try to look at the way I am going, the whys and wheres of it. I wonder what I am searching for, what I am longing for. Abigail* reminds me gently - there isn't any. There is just the longing, that's all, just the longing.
