Lazarus Knix - A Simple Ant

The first April ant-
Dashes across my driveway -
Into a mowed lawn.

There and gone quickly-
Though something mystifying-
Was provoked in me.

These trivial things-
Swift as spring's jaundiced lightning-
Oft have most effect-
On the grins we bring,
And the song we sing.

Lazarus Knix
