Scrawl on the Wall 031So I'm kicking back and listening to the pleas of the King of the Ant People. "I AM THE MAGICAL ANT OF DESTINY!" And I stare at the giant ant man, and think "Yeah, right. Whatever." And then the Ant man does a wiggly dance and touches me with his feelers and then tries to clean me and feed me like a grub. And I think - "Huh." And then the magical giant ant tells me of his home, a distant and magical kingdom called Sugarland. And in Sugarland there is joy and goodness. Everyone works, everyone has a place, society functions and things are accomplished. The King of the Ants isn't too damned impressed by my society. I try to get him to play Tetris against me on my Nintendo Gameboy Advance. But I don't think he ever really gets into it. The Ant desires, needs to do something productive and positive with his time. I suggest we listen to techno music and then watch a zombie flick. The Ant doesn't seem interested. Eventually we walk down the street and get these huge 44oz raspberry blue slurpies. The Ant seems satisfied momentarily, and yet I know that he longs to construct, and build, and organize. I go home and play Pac-Man until I pass out. |
