Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise.
Proverbs, vi, 6.
the
termite mound is a lonely enter-
prise
it does not call to any other
mound
or apartment cone
within
its horizon
it
does not ask of its apparatus
why
mr mound god or what is
the
philosophical explan-
ation
for the state i am in
it
is a wise piece of clay it sticks to
what
it is better at like underthrow-
ing
houses in cornwall
ventilating
its grille-
s
and keeping its little foragers
nursery
attendants dung sweepers
pincer
parts walking sperm
packets
and eggbag queen
alive
it probably does not dream i
think
it loves itself though but who
can
tell it damages
the
earth slower than us
