I sit on the subway.
Someone is crawling inside my hat.
There's an ant on the floor too.
I am helpless ! How could I save it ?
How to save all the ants in the wrong places ?
I am dozing in the grass.
Slowly I raise my eyelids.
An ant is standing on its hind legs
waving its antennas.
"YOU KILLED GRANPA!" I recieve its accusation.
Then : "Granpa is no more !"
What can one do ?
Helpless !

Re: Helpless !
I love this and know exactly this feeling.There's an ant on the floor too.
I am helpless ! How could I save it ?

And I love the photographic immediacy of this.I am dozing in the grass.
Slowly I raise my eyelids.

waving its antennas.
