I know this might sound silly
Coming from us what really doesn’t.
The other day an ant crawled across my finger tip
I lifted it up to a place where I could better see it.
As its little antenna’s moved back and forth I wondered
Could its microscopic mind comprehend me?
For all of its social skills
For all of its building talents
A mere ant and all of anthood is nothing
in comparison
To man and all of manhood
I watched it move
From fingertip to fingertip
In comparison
it would be like me
Moving from mountain top
to mountain top
I wonder
With all we think we know
Can we
Could we
Would we
Ever be able to fully
Comprehend you?
