it is quite remarkable how many uses
you hunams keep finding
for magnets—
your latest discovery being that
running a current through
each other’s heads
makes some of you feel better.
while i think it is great that your species
keeps mucking around
with those ferrous mousetraps
i do wish to point out that (as usual)
we ants got there first
and a proper citation would be
in order.
i refer you to the classic 1972
a.m. kopecky reference
in which she demonstrates that
a little static electricity on the brain
goes a long way.
or, as she put it,
having your feelers rubbed by
an acquaintance will
increase warm feelings in the
vicinity of the trunk chakra
(if you know what i mean)
Keep it up, ersatz!
