The aphics crackle and hum around the home
they find on the thin green branch, a world
of curve and bending, one of subtle or drastic
shifts in orientation.
The ladybug knows of gravity, air, and places to
rest. The pull that forces wings into action is
what measures a world larger than a branch.
The human builds, like the ants, but rarely
do the ants destroy.
The aphids worry not on the thin green branch,
stickyfeet and clingingclaws provide a substitute
for mass attraction.
Biology challanges physics, and sometimes loses.
Ka-boom!
