With Ants - edit

[Knot]

Enjoyable piece duke,
with a unexpectedly powerful finish.

- The rhyme of 'them' with 'them' is a bit disappointing,

- (Bit old fashioned perhaps, but:
affirms both [my] skill
and [Man's] hegemony ?)

- Should there be a 'but' before 'there's little danger' ?

- I don't think the 'Middle East dictator' adds anything
(rather the opposite, in fact). Maybe cut as:
harmless in my sight—
no, I spray ants who want to live
in my house
[for they are] many
won’t be bidden
and [because] I can. ?


Best, Knot.
