The Ant

THE ANT
I watched an ant climb a blade of grass this morning. When he reached the top, his weight bent the blade down to the ground. Then, twisting his thorax with insectile precision, he grabbed a hold of the next blade.


In this manner, he traveled across the lawn, covering as much distance vertically as he did horizontally, which both amused and delighted me.


And then, all at once, I had what is sometimes called an "epiphany," a moment of heightened awareness in which everything becomes crystal clear.


Yes, hunched over that ant on my hands and knees, I suddenly knew what I had to do ... Quit drinking before noon.

I liked that one.
