Sitting on the kitchen sink.
Where it ought not to be.

Tufts all over, peering at the dripping
faucet.

The ants come pouring out of the
drain.
Crawling up to meet the ant caller.

Crawling out behind the orange
backboard.
Crawling out from under the toaster.
Scuttling under the microwave.

The ant caller sits with blue, jiggling
eyes.
Only noticing the dripping faucet.

smiling here

I love this.

I'm not sure I can identify each object, but I understand the methodology.

It's darned near cultish.

My applause. I much enjoyed.

Also much enjoyed, continue in this childlike vein...I don't often respond just to say things are great.

This poem is about a cat I once had. I caught her on the kitchen sink trying to drink out of the faucet. There were ants crawling out of the drain towards her.
