the leafcutter ants
I remember the hammocks
staring up
into the meshed leaf canopy
a midwesterner in paradise
still working
i remember the hammocks
of paradise
high in the leaf canopy
i strove against the leafcutter ants
against the green-hued sun
to build a haven
where all things stay
where put
i remember the hammocks
where i strove in my mind
as my body rested.

About the Author
Hi. My name is Jeremiah John. I'm a sf/f writer and activist.
I just completed a dystopian science fiction novel. I run a website which I created that connects farms with churches, mosques, and synagogues to buy fresh vegetables directly and distribute them on a sliding scale to those in need.
In 2003, I spent six months in prison for civil disobedience while working to close the School of the Americas, converting to Christianity, as one does, while I was in the clink.
