The Jigsaw Ants

On the seventh day

(between naps)
HE created

mosaics

of small fragments

males and females

in one assembly

created HE them

- early stage cell division

- lost chromosomes

- inheritance control rods

- male and female tissue

the leftover jumble

of interlocked bits

and when HE saw that they were

less than good

HE placed them

eastward in Erin

in the nests

of the antagonists

the blood red slave-makers

the formica sanguinea

and the elbowed reds

the myrmica scabrinodis

which live on the lead veins

of

Ireland's Eye

and

Howth

and nowhere else

on Earth.

Amen.
