Mind\'s motor running smooth, drifting down the highway of thought, watching

the passing scenery of days tasks. Just completing lunch steering it to the

plate, when came that sudden bang. Shock, disbelief, reaction. Perforated my

tire on which I stood, bare and bald the culprit still clinging to it was soon

pulled.  A nail of an ant extracted.


They came, at first the one, then ten, a thousand, millions everywhere in

traffic jams forming a black asphalt tarmac. A solemn procession of carrion

cargo. In off road driving they filled the grass. Each step more punctures on

treadless tires. Hitchhikers uninvited intruders of the back seat.

Shaken off at each stop only to catch a ride on the next one passing.
