Living Square Boulders

Mile high square monoliths
feted with hundreds of faux glass eyes
and scaffolding bondages.
Standing stolidly asunder like the pyramids,
monuments to a greater- more intellectual insect.
Try as best they may
to reach the cool, luminous blue stars
and rich velvety blackness of
the nether ether.
The weight of eight million worker ants
binds them to the native terra
from which they extend.
With wry smiles
and their soon to be ancient postures,
their orangy brick, steel gray cement and
chocolatey brownstone skins stretch .....
even if only
tenths of nanometers a day.
It brings them closer ....
Unbeknownst to their occupants
who instinctively pulse through
their existence via the
subcutaneous railway veins
and yellow-black checkered drones.
