Ant Farm from Bladfold by David Nixon and Daniel Spils

Thirteen years as a company man.
Three months severance and a moving van.
Goodbye LA, it’s time to head back home.
So distract the kids in the back with the license plate game.
Stop for a snack and a stretch at a park along the way.
And everyone’s wondering what it’ll be like
when we get back home.
And you told me:
“No Dony you can’t bring your ant farm along.
That tiny family won’t last that long
They build their tunnels out of sand,
and they won’t stand up on the bumpy car ride home.”
When we’re out of games I lay my head against the glass,
watch the factories and farmlands pass.
Wondering what it’ll be like when we get back home,
and if there is one.
And you told me:
“No Dony you can’t bring your ant farm along.
That tiny family won’t last that long
They build their tunnels out of sand,
and they won’t stand up on the bumpy car ride home.”
