what ants make

what ants make

i can make $1.40

in two hours

trolling this town

for aluminum cans and

plastic bottles

ants are also scroungers

and opportunists

who work 12 hours per day

collecting earwig heads,

bread crumbs, worms, etc.

i can eat enough off

my $1.40, which is 70 cents per hour

the ants work 12 hours for that

base existence

which means

that an ant makes 11 cents per hour

to maintain my standard

of living
