The Ant
A Found Poem
Imagine a single ant
walking around Planet Earth over
& over again. Suppose it takes one footstep
every million years. By the time
the ant’s feet have worn down the Earth
to the size of a pea,
eternity has not even begun.

Mackenzie Dwyer: Since I could read, I've known a longing to make a mark on literature. But another landmark decision of mine was to drop out of marksmanship Junior Olympics qualifying rounds to go earn my black belt and a concussion. My work has garnered regional Scholastic Art & Writing Awards recognition along with five recent acceptances, one being my piece Behind My Eyes in Ink in Thirds Magazine.
