If i Were An Ant

If i were an ant

Everything would seem quite big.

A bird or a plant

Some dirt, a few twigs.

Every inch would be a mile;

Every hour like a year.

I would smile my buggy smile

Every single time I'd hear

Our song of the working ants.

I would laugh my buggy laugh

When we'd all begin to dance

To this rythm of

Feet hitting the ground

Seeds falling from the trees

The wind moving sand around

And streetlights turning green.

If i were an ant

I'd be tiny, I'd be small.

I would live within the grass

Each blade would apear 10 feet tall

I would be happy as could be

as i sang our working song,

Till someone carelessly misstepped

and then squish-

I would be gone.
