Ant Trivializing Human Fear

I have often to tell myself,
when in the thick
of perceived doom,
everywhere I look:
Math, War in Iraq, College Applications, Global Warming
and the like,

of the Ant;

If you were as small as that,
you would fear the tremble of a leaf,
the drop of water, the breath of wind;
You are not.
Don't.
