Terry Adams: Ant asks where?

February 5, 2015 by PBQ

Other ant says
go see him over there
but him asks what is the word and memory
says white so that one runs off
for some reason I’ll try this guy coming
along the edge & he says go back
oh my God but nobody confirms keep saying white
so I’m looking but I can only go the one inch
I forget & must check and this next one
circling says wait but I might
sleep so I ask again and get somebody
else saying still and then mustard so I sit
here but too many smell like a different life &
want me to say something more definite I
sense emergency but nobody is
dead yet so keep on saying white I think
meanwhile folks are walking slower
together usually about food but I only
ever ate once & maybe should not
ever again.
