Thank You for Purchasing Killz ‘Em Good Ant Eliminator

Begin by spreading the granules evenly
on the ground around the anthills.

Of course, first you must find the anthills,
where the little ants are living,
where the soldier ant makes his rounds,
where the worker ant has painstakingly
built up protective banks of dirt,
one spec of dust at a time,
in the blaze of this Arizona afternoon.

First find their homes, the anthills,
inside which they give to one another,
through moonless nights,
lengthy, multi-armed ant-hugs.

Find their homes,
where the ants gather
at the end of the day
to caress feelers with feelers.

Apply ¼ cup Killz ‘Em Good
Ant Eliminator directly to the hole.
Honestly, it doesn’t matter where you
put the poison, whether you spread it evenly
or pour it into a pile,
so long as its somewhere the ants will find.

The ants will think it’s food,
appearing as manna from the sky.
They will carry it back to their Queen,
who will draw together her Queendom,
declaring a feast and a rest from all bitter servitude.

Use with reservation.
A little goes a long way.
