The spectator benches brim
to watch and learn the ant-match
Expectant eyes, waiting
Ants file out. No coach. No umpire. No whistler.
A to-do list showcased on their jerseys
fingers and foreheads digging the field
Ninety minutes turn into hours
working seamlessly
lifting sugar boxes from the summer side of the field to the winter
A Goal! Goals! More Goals! A food store of wine, grain, milk and oil.
