It wasn’t that easy

A couple of times it dodged

A fiery spot upon the concrete

Till my foot displaced air

And delivered the stomp of death

Upon the tiny creature’s soul

Then afterward—

An act of vengeance

His fire ant friend came

Blazing a fiery path straight to my shoe

But alas it was easy—I crushed him too
